25 Céntimos Ascó

Ascó is a small municipality in the Ribera d'Ebre comarca of Tarragona province, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish Republican towns during the Civil War, it resorted to locally printed emergency fractional currency when coin supplies collapsed after 1936. The Consell Municipal issues of this period were typically authorized under the Generalitat de Catalunya's broader framework permitting municipal money, though the actual production was local — often a printshop, a rubber stamp, and whatever card stock was available.

Turró's catalog remains the essential reference for these Catalan municipals, and the 242 assignment places this squarely within a well-documented but physically fragile series. Card stock issues from small municipalities survive poorly; the material was never meant to last.
