25 Céntimos Alhama de Salmerón

Alhama de Salmerón is a small municipality in the province of Almería, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its municipal council resorted to locally printed emergency fractional currency when coin shortages made small transactions impossible. The Republican government had effectively lost control of the metal coinage supply by 1936, forcing municipalities across loyalist territory to improvise. Papelería Lacoste, a commercial stationer in Almería city, supplied many of these local issues across the province — their imprint appears on several municipal emergency notes from the region.

The Gari catalogue reference (Mon#123-A) suggests at least one variant exists, though survival rates for these hyper-local issues are unpredictable.
