Brazatortas is a tiny municipality in the province of Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, and this 25 céntimos note is a product of the Republican zone's chronic small-change crisis during the Civil War. When the Nationalist uprising disrupted coin supplies in 1936, hundreds of Spanish municipalities — many of them villages of a few hundred inhabitants — were authorized, or simply took it upon themselves, to print their own emergency fractional currency. Brazatortas was among the smallest to do so.
The Gari Montserrat cataloguing of these local Spanish Civil War emissions runs to thousands of entries, and municipal pieces from Ciudad Real province are among the more obscure. Doroteo Algara's signature as authorizing official is the only personal trace the note preserves.
