25 Céntimos Castelldans

Castelldans is a small municipality in the comarca of Les Garrigues, Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper currency when the Republican government's coin shortage became acute after 1936. The Republican government's removal of silver and copper coinage from circulation — hoarded heavily once war broke out — forced local ayuntamientos to fill the gap themselves, with results ranging from professionally lithographed cards to hand-stamped slips of near-worthless paper.

The Turró catalogue remains the standard reference for these emergency municipals, and 709 places this issue among the smaller, harder-to-document emissions where survival rates are low simply because the issuing body was tiny and the notes were used hard.
