Aldea de San Benito is a small municipality in the province of Albacete, Castilla-La Mancha. This 25 céntimos note belongs to the enormous wave of locally issued emergency paper money — cartones and billetes de necesidad — produced by Spanish town councils during the Civil War after Republican-zone coinage effectively vanished from circulation by mid-1936. The Ayuntamiento issued what it had to.
Gari Mon catalogues these Albacete provincial issues with particular care; the #97-A designation suggests at least one variant exists for this denomination from this issuer.
