| Comments |
Sena is a small municipality in Huesca province, Aragon, and like hundreds of Spanish villages it issued its own emergency fractional currency — moneda local — during the early months of the Civil War after the Republic's small-change coins vanished from circulation almost overnight in the summer of 1936. These municipal issues were technically unauthorized but tolerated out of necessity; the central government retrospectively acknowledged many of them.
At 40 × 40 mm, this is essentially a paper token. The official stamp was the issuing authority's only real mechanism of validation — without a bank or printing house behind it, the stamp was the note.
