25 Céntimos Albalatillo

Albalatillo is a village in Huesca province, Aragon, with a population that barely reached a few hundred during the 1930s. Like dozens of similarly small Republican-held municipalities during the Spanish Civil War, it issued its own emergency small-change scrip — moneda local — to address the near-total disappearance of metal coinage from circulation after 1936. The Consejo de Defensa designation marks this as a wartime administrative body rather than a conventional municipal council.

Survival rates for these hyper-local emissions are unpredictable. Print runs were tiny, quality control nonexistent, and most notes were redeemed, lost, or simply discarded when the war ended the issuing authority's existence.
