25 Céntimos Albalat de Taronchers

Albalat de Taronchers is a small Valencian municipality that, like hundreds of other Republican-controlled towns during the Spanish Civil War, resorted to issuing its own emergency paper fractional currency after the Republican government's decree of late 1936 effectively acknowledged that the central banking system could no longer supply adequate small-denomination coinage. These municipal notes — known collectively as moneda local de necesidad — were theoretically backed by local authority but practically backed by nothing more than community trust and the assumption the war would end favorably.

The near-square format and official stamp were typical stopgap measures. Turró's catalogue documents significant variation in stamp placement across surviving examples of the 43 series.
