Albalate de Cinca is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and this 25 céntimos note was issued during the Spanish Civil War period when hundreds of Republican-zone towns produced their own fractional currency to compensate for the near-total disappearance of small coin from circulation. The "Colectividad Municipal Única" designation is significant — it signals that the local economy had been collectivized under anarcho-syndicalist or socialist administration, placing this firmly within the revolutionary municipal governance that spread through Aragon in 1936–37.
At roughly 37 by 36 millimeters, the format approaches square — unusual even among the notoriously varied dimensions of Spanish Civil War local issues.
