Alcubierre is a small municipality in the Monegros desert region of Aragon, and during the Spanish Civil War it sat directly on the Aragon front — George Orwell famously spent months in the trenches nearby, describing the area in detail in Homage to Catalonia. Like dozens of Aragonese villages, Alcubierre suffered an acute coin shortage after 1936 as metal was hoarded or requisitioned, forcing local institutions to issue their own emergency paper. This note is one of those stopgap emissions.
The issuer here is the town cooperative rather than the municipality itself — a meaningful distinction in Republican Aragon, where anarcho-syndicalist collectives frequently controlled local economic life independently of the formal ayuntamiento.
