5 Pesetas Centellas; Cooperativa La Económica

Spanish cooperative emergency currency of this type falls under the broader category of moneda de empresa — scrip issued by a company or cooperative for internal circulation among its members or workforce. By 1958, Franco's Spain had largely suppressed the chaotic wartime and postwar local currency issues, making a cooperative still circulating its own scrip at that date genuinely unusual. Whether this represents an oversight by authorities or a tolerated local arrangement in a small Catalan town is not documented in the standard references.

Centellas — now officially Cintelles — is a small municipality in the Osona comarca of Catalonia. AL#2910 places this in Alquiza's census of Spanish local issues, but catalogue detail on this specific piece remains thin.
