0.25 Pesetas Pobla de Ciérvoles

Pobla de Ciérvoles is a hamlet in the Lleida uplands — population measured in dozens even in the 1930s — which makes its appearance as a currency issuer one of the more striking footnotes of the Spanish Civil War's monetary fragmentation. The Republican government's inability to maintain small-denomination coinage in circulation after 1936 forced municipalities down to the parish level to print their own emergency fractional notes, and Pobla de Ciérvoles is about as far down that chain as it gets.

Turró documents the series but survival rates for issues from settlements this small are genuinely uncertain. Print runs were almost certainly in the hundreds, not thousands.
