Herrera de los Navarros is a small municipality in the sierra south of Zaragoza, and like hundreds of other Aragonese villages, its collectivity issued local currency during 1937 as the anarcho-syndicalist CNT consolidated control over the region's economy. The Republican government had no effective mechanism to stop this — nor, for much of that year, much interest in doing so. These village-level emissions were purely internal instruments, valid only within the collectivity's own exchange system and worthless the moment you crossed into the next township.
The Gari Montalvo reference number is unassigned, which suggests this piece either evaded early cataloging or surfaced after the main corpus was documented. Survival rates for Aragonese collectivity notes are extremely uneven — many were burned or buried when Franco's forces took the region in late 1937.
