Ibieca is a village in Huesca province, Aragon — tiny even by rural Spanish standards. During the Civil War, the CNT-affiliated collective that effectively governed the village issued its own scrip when Republican-zone small change collapsed entirely. These hyper-local emissions were not coordinated through any central authority; each colectividad printed or stamped what it needed, in whatever denominations made practical sense for daily exchange.
The Gari Mon catalogue documents hundreds of such issues from Aragon alone. Most survive only in single-digit quantities, if that — scrip this local was typically withdrawn and destroyed when the collective dissolved or was forcibly suppressed by Francoist advance in 1938.
