Albalate de las Nogueras, renamed Albalate Luchador ("Fighter") by its Republican council during the Civil War, was one of hundreds of small Aragonese and Castilian municipalities that issued emergency fractional currency after the July 1936 coup disrupted the national coin supply. The Consejo Municipal — by then effectively a revolutionary committee — authorized these notes as purely local tender. They rarely traveled far and were redeemed, destroyed, or simply discarded once the Nationalist advance made them worthless.
The 2.50 pesetas denomination is an oddity, implying it was paired with a 2.50-peseta coin equivalent that almost certainly did not exist locally.
