Albatárrech — now Albalat de la Ribera, a small town in Valencia — was one of hundreds of Republican-held localities that issued its own emergency paper during the Civil War after the collapse of small-change supply in 1936. These colectividad notes functioned as internal scrip within the anarcho-syndicalist or UGT-affiliated collectives that effectively governed local economies behind the lines. "Adelante" — Forward — was a common collective name, politically freighted and deliberately chosen.
At 48 x 40 mm, this is among the smallest denomination scrip produced anywhere in the conflict — physically closer to a postage stamp than a banknote, printed on whatever stock was locally available.
