25 Céntimos Ceutí

Ceutí is a small municipality in the Murcia region of southeastern Spain, and like hundreds of similarly sized towns, it issued its own fractional paper currency during the Civil War period when metallic coin virtually disappeared from everyday commerce. These local emergency notes — collectively known as billetes locales or papel moneda local — were typically authorized by Republican-controlled municipal councils after 1936 to keep small transactions moving when the central supply of low-denomination coinage collapsed entirely.

Documentation on the Ceutí issues is thin. The Gari catalogue remains the primary reference, and surviving examples are genuinely scarce simply because production runs for minor municipalities were small and most notes were redeemed or destroyed after the war.
