| Obverse description | Printed on thick orange card stock with serrated edges on all four sides, the face carries the denomination in two lines of bold black letterpress type centred on the field: 'Vale por' above '25 cts.' The design is entirely devoid of vignette, underprint, or ornamental border, resulting in the stark, utilitarian character typical of Spanish Civil War collectivity emergency issues. |

Pomar de Cinca is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its anarcho-syndicalist collective issued its own emergency fractional currency when coinage disappeared from circulation almost entirely after July 1936. These colectividad notes were locally produced — often on whatever card stock or heavy paper was available — with no central oversight and highly variable print quality. The CNT-affiliated collectives that ran much of Aragonese agriculture and commerce during 1936–1938 treated these small-denomination pieces as purely functional instruments to keep internal trade moving.
Surviving examples from tiny Aragonese villages like Pomar de Cinca are genuinely scarce; production runs were small, most wore out quickly, and the Francoist suppression of the collectives in 1938 ensured few were preserved intentionally.
