Albalate de Cinca is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone coin shortages made small transactions nearly impossible after 1936. These local issues — often printed on whatever stock was available — were technically illegal under central Republican monetary authority but were tolerated out of sheer necessity.
The Gari Mon #46-B designation suggests a second known type for this municipality, implying at least minimal typographic or stock variation between issues. Given the volume, few have survived without folds or handling damage.
