25 Céntimos Beniardá

Beniardá is a village in the Vall de Guadalest, Valencia, with a population that barely reached 300 in the 1930s. Like dozens of similarly tiny Valencian municipalities during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional scrip in 1937 when Republican-zone copper coinage vanished almost entirely from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absent from rural supply chains. These hyper-local emissions were technically sanctioned under Republican decree but practically ungovernable, and quality varied accordingly.

Gari Montllor's catalog documents Beniardá's emission as a single known type. Survival is poor across the entire municipal scrip category, and notes from villages this small often exist in single-digit quantities.
