| Comments |
A Civil War-era local emergency note from Anglès, a small industrial town in the Selva comarca of Girona, Catalonia. During the summer of 1936, the collapse of normal banking and the hoarding of metal coinage created an acute small-change crisis across Republican-held Spain. Hundreds of municipalities, cooperatives, and trade unions issued their own paper or cardboard fractional currency — these are collectively known as "moneda local" or "guerra civil" issues. La Unión Anglesense was a workers' cooperative, and its authorization to issue scrip reflects how thoroughly local civil institutions had assumed administrative functions by mid-1936.
The round ink stamp was applied to authenticate individual notes — a common validation method when printing resources were limited and forgery deterrence had to be improvised.
