Albelda is a small municipality in Huesca province, Aragon. Notes like this — fractional peseta issues from local municipal councils — flooded Republican-held Spain from mid-1936 onward as the Civil War severed normal coin supply chains and small change effectively vanished from circulation. The Consejo Municipal stepped in to fill the gap, as hundreds of comparable ayuntamientos did, producing quasi-official scrip with whatever materials were at hand.
The Gari Mon#52-B designation suggests at least two catalogued varieties for Albelda's quarter-peseta issue. The official stamp is the primary authentication mechanism — without it, the card stock alone carried no authority.
