Buñol was one of hundreds of Spanish municipalities that issued emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's small coins vanished from circulation almost overnight in 1936 — hoarded, melted, or simply lost to the chaos. The Consejo Municipal, effectively the town council operating under wartime collectivist administration, filled the gap with locally printed cardboard or paper scrip that the state could not or would not supply fast enough.
The Turró and Gari catalogues between them document extraordinary variation across these Valencian municipal issues — different control numbers, ink colours, and paper stocks sometimes appearing within a single denomination from the same town. Whether Buñol produced multiple variants of this 25 céntimos is worth checking against the specific Turró reference 431 before attributing condition-related differences to wear alone.
