25 Céntimos Fondón

Fondón is a tiny village in the Alpujarra region of Almería province, and like hundreds of other Spanish municipalities it resorted to issuing its own emergency fractional paper during the Civil War after the Republic's small coinage vanished from circulation almost overnight in 1936. These local council emissions — known collectively as billetes locales — were produced in enormous variety across Republican-held territory, with quality and survival rates tied directly to how long a given town remained behind Republican lines.

Papelería Lacoste in Almería supplied printing services to several Alpujarran municipalities during this period, which makes attribution relatively reliable for this note — an unusual advantage in a series where many comparable emissions were produced anonymously or on office typewriters.
