25 Céntimos Fraga

Fraga is a small town in Huesca province, Aragon, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities it was forced to produce its own emergency fractional currency after the Civil War's outbreak in July 1936 effectively froze the national coin supply. The Republican government's inability to maintain small-denomination coinage in circulation pushed the burden onto local councils, which improvised with whatever printing resources — and paper stock — were at hand. Thick card stock was a common solution; it survived pocket wear better than thin paper and was harder to crudely counterfeit.

The embossed dry seal was the Consejo Municipal's primary authentication device, applied by whatever official stamp the ayuntamiento already possessed for administrative documents.
