Albalate de Cinca is a small municipality in Huesca, Aragon, and like hundreds of similar villages it issued its own emergency scrip during the Spanish Civil War after metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation in 1936–37. The Colectividad Municipal Única designation reflects the anarcho-syndicalist collective administration that controlled much of rural Aragon under CNT-FAI influence — the word "única" is doing real political work here, signaling the consolidation of local economic authority into a single revolutionary body.
Notes of this type were printed or hand-stamped locally in tiny quantities, often on whatever card stock was available, and circulated only within the issuing municipality. Very few were redeemed or formally cancelled.
