25 Céntimos Carboneras

Carboneras is a small fishing municipality on the Almería coast, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper money when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed after 1936. These local billetes de necesidad were purely functional — printed to cover wages, market transactions, and municipal services when metallic currency simply ceased to move.

Almería province examples are disproportionately scarce compared to Catalan or Valencian issues of the same period, partly because smaller runs were printed and partly due to wartime destruction when Nationalist forces took the region in 1939.
