Benabarre is a small town in the Ribagorza comarca of Aragon, and this 5-céntimo fractional was issued by its CNT-aligned collective during the Spanish Civil War — one of hundreds of local emergency issues that flooded Aragon and Catalonia after the July 1936 uprising fractured normal commerce overnight. The anarcho-syndicalist collectives filled the coin vacuum themselves, printing on whatever card stock was available, which accounts for the heavier substrate here.
Gari Mon #274-A suggests early or primary type within the Benabarre sequence. Given the town's size, total print runs were almost certainly tiny, and attrition from actual daily use has been severe.
