| Reverse description | Printed in blue with a double-line rectangular border, the reverse centres on a circular vignette containing an open book at upper left alongside a standing worker holding a hammer and a farmer holding a sickle amid ears of wheat, with rifles between the two figures and an industrial factory with an electricity pylon in the background. The composition reflects the Republican and labour iconography prevalent on Spanish Civil War emergency issues. |

Binéfar is a small agricultural town in the Huesca province of Aragon — deep Republican territory during the Civil War. Municipal emergency money of this type was authorized under a 1936 decree by the Generalitat and Republican central authorities, allowing local councils to issue low-denomination paper when metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted almost immediately after July 1936.
The Consejo Municipal issues from Aragon's smaller towns are among the most poorly documented of the war-era local currencies. Print runs were not publicly recorded, redemption was inconsistent, and surviving quantities depend heavily on whether a given municipality's records survived the post-war years.
