1 Peseta Albalate de Cinca

Albalate de Cinca is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragón, and like hundreds of similar towns across Republican Spain, it resorted to locally produced emergency scrip after the 1936 military uprising triggered a catastrophic shortage of small-denomination coinage. The Colectividad Municipal Única designation reflects the anarcho-syndicalist collectivization that swept through much of rural Aragón under CNT influence — this wasn't simply a municipal government issuing change, but a collectivized economic unit replacing conventional commerce entirely.

The near-square format and heavy stock were practical choices for hand-stamped or simply printed local issues where longevity in pocket wear mattered more than sophistication.
