25 Céntimos Benahadux

Benahadux is a village of a few hundred inhabitants in the Almería province, and its municipal council — like dozens of other tiny Andalusian municipalities in the summer and autumn of 1936 — was forced to print its own fractional currency when the Nationalist uprising caused the hoarding and disappearance of coins almost overnight. The Republican-held south faced a near-total small-change crisis within weeks of the July coup.

Local emergency issues of this kind were typically produced on whatever printing equipment existed in the town — often a municipal press or local newspaper shop. Gari catalogues several hundred such Almería-region pieces, most with survival rates that make even circulated examples genuinely difficult to locate.
