Comments

Almunia de Cinca is a small municipality in the Cinca Medio comarca of Aragon, and like hundreds of other villages and collectives across Republican-held Spain, it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the flight of coin from circulation. The Colectividad designation is significant — this was not a municipal ayuntamiento issue but one produced under the anarcho-syndicalist collective structure that briefly controlled much of rural Aragon from 1936 onward, when the CNT and FAI reorganized local economies along collectivist lines.

Gari Mon#148-C suggests at least variant status within the series, though village-level Aragonese issues of this type were printed in small runs, often locally, with minimal quality control. Survival rates are low simply because these notes were never meant to outlast the war.
