Caudiel is a small municipality in Castellón province, and this 25 céntimos piece is among the hundreds of locally issued emergency fractional notes — known as billetes de necesidad — that flooded Republican-held Spain after the July 1936 military uprising. The CNT-affiliated cooperative issued its own scrip because small-denomination coinage disappeared almost immediately from circulation as the war disrupted the monetary system and hoarding took hold within weeks of the coup.
Gari Mon#509-A places this squarely in the documented Valencian Community emergency issues. The thick card format was typical of municipally printed scrip, chosen for durability when proper banknote paper was unavailable.
