The Consejo de Asturias y León was the Republican authority governing the northern enclave after Franco's forces cut it off from the rest of Republican Spain in late 1936. Isolated by land, the council issued its own emergency fractional currency because the peseta notes from Madrid simply couldn't reach the region in sufficient quantity. This 25 céntimos piece is part of that locally-produced emergency series — small denominations that filled the gap left by hoarded coin.
The enclave fell to Nationalist forces in October 1937, making the entire series short-lived by necessity. Notes that survived did so outside circulation, often carried out by refugees.
