Albalate de Cinca is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and like dozens of similar communities during the Spanish Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when coin circulation collapsed entirely after 1936. These local collectivity notes — produced under anarchist or republican municipal control — were typically printed or handstamped on whatever stock was available, which accounts for the card-stock construction here. The near-square format is a direct consequence of cutting material to fit a small denomination, not any deliberate design choice.
Gari's catalog documents hundreds of such emissions, most surviving in tiny quantities. Albalate de Cinca's issues are among the more obscure Aragonese locals.
