| Obverse description | The note is enclosed within a perimeter border and carries the coat of arms of Catalonia alongside a vignette of a cherry tree, an allusion to the local renown for cherry cultivation that gave the municipality its name. The face value and municipal authority are stated in Catalan within the central text field. The overall layout follows a letterpress typographic style characteristic of Spanish Civil War-era municipal emergency issues. |

El Cirerer del Llobregat is a small municipality in the Baix Llobregat comarca, and this 25 céntimos note is a product of the anarchist-influenced local currency explosion that swept Republican Catalonia from 1936 onward. When the central Republican government lost practical control over day-to-day commerce in many towns, municipal councils — ajuntaments — began issuing their own fractional scrip to cover the shortage of small coinage. C.A.M. in Barcelona handled printing for dozens of these municipal issues simultaneously.
Turró catalogues this as #825, placing it within a well-documented but still locally scarce series.
