25 Céntimos Alcampel

Alcampel is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and like hundreds of similar towns across Republican Spain, it issued its own fractional emergency currency during the Civil War after the coinage supply collapsed entirely in 1936–37. These hyper-local municipal issues — often produced on whatever paper was available, sometimes with rubber stamps or basic letterpress — circulated almost exclusively within the issuing community itself, accepted out of necessity rather than confidence.

The Gari Monetary catalog remains the primary reference for Aragonese municipal issues, and many in this series survive in surprisingly small numbers given how recently they were printed.
