| Obverse description | Printed in black letterpress on pale green card stock, the obverse is divided into two zones: a large bold numeral '25' occupies the left half, while the right half carries the issuer legend in two lines separated by a ruled divider, with the denomination 'céntimos' in bold italic type at lower right, underlined by a double rule. The overall design is typographic, devoid of vignette or guilloche ornament, consistent with wartime emergency municipal issues of the Spanish Civil War period. |

Almácera — a small huerta village north of Valencia — was one of hundreds of Republican municipalities that issued emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the withdrawal of small coinage from circulation. The Consejo Municipal, effectively the local revolutionary council by 1937, had no printing infrastructure of its own; these notes were almost certainly produced by one of the Valencia-area commercial printers handling similar commissions across the region simultaneously.
The Turró and Garí references place this firmly within the documented Valencia Provincial series, though survival rates for Almácera issues are lower than for larger municipalities — the village's small population meant limited original production runs.
