Dénia is a coastal town in Valencia province, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities it issued its own fractional emergency currency — moneda local — during the Civil War after the Republic's central government failed to maintain an adequate supply of small-denomination coinage. These local emissions were authorised under a 1937 decree but were often printed before or outside official approval, with quality and oversight varying wildly from one town to the next.
The Gari Monerris catalogue remains the primary reference for Valencian Community local issues, and the 591-E designation indicates this is one of several known varieties for the Dénia 25 céntimos — distinguishing factors between variants typically involve ink colour, paper stock, or minor typographic differences rather than substantive design changes.
