Nonaspe is a small municipality in Zaragoza province, Aragon — and like hundreds of similar villages across Republican-held Spain during the Civil War, it was forced to produce its own emergency paper money when the collapse of small-change supply made ordinary commerce nearly impossible. The Consejo Municipal issues of 1937 were purely local instruments, valid only within the issuing community and typically printed in tiny quantities on whatever materials were available.
Survival rates for these Aragonese municipal notes are erratic — some issues are common, others genuinely rare, with no reliable print-run data ever published for most villages of this size.
