Campillo de Arenas is a small municipality in the Sierra Mágina range of Jaén province, and this 25 céntimos piece belongs to the vast ecosystem of Spanish Civil War emergency municipal scrip — locally issued because the Republic's small-denomination coinage had effectively vanished from circulation by 1936–37, hoarded or melted down faster than it could be replaced. Hundreds of Spanish towns issued their own paper or card substitutes, most in tiny quantities, many surviving today only in single figures.
The Gari Mon reference places this within the documented Catalan-compiled census of such issues, though attribution and survival data for minor Andalusian municipalities remain patchy.
