Comments

Binaced is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and like hundreds of similarly tiny Spanish communities, it resorted to locally produced emergency scrip during the Civil War when Republican-zone coinage all but vanished from circulation after 1936. These fractional issues — sometimes printed, sometimes handwritten, occasionally stamped on whatever card stock was available — were produced under purely local authority with no coordination from Barcelona or Valencia. The Comité Administrativo designation marks it as a wartime committee issue rather than a pre-war municipal body.

At under 50mm in its longest dimension, this is genuinely pocket-sized scrip, likely circulating only within the village itself.
