10 Céntimos Villar de los Navarros

Villar de los Navarros is a small municipality in Zaragoza province, Aragon, and this note is a product of the localized monetary collapse that followed the July 1936 military uprising. With Republican Spain's central currency distribution severed across large swaths of the interior, hundreds of towns — many with fewer than a thousand inhabitants — issued their own emergency fractional paper to keep local commerce moving. Villar de los Navarros was one of them.

The validation stamp is the only security measure, which was typical of Aragonese municipal issues and made counterfeiting almost trivially easy — though the strictly local circulation made forgery largely pointless.
