Comments

Fuente de Pedro Naharro is a small municipality in Cuenca province, Castilla-La Mancha, and this 25 céntimos note was issued by its workers' cooperative during the Spanish Civil War — one of hundreds of local emergency fractional issues that flooded Republican-held territory after the nationalist uprising disrupted coin circulation in 1936. The Banco de España had effectively stopped supplying small change to Republican zones, and municipalities, cooperatives, and trade unions filled the gap themselves, printing on whatever card stock was available.

The Gari Montaner catalogue documents this as a single known type for this issuer, suggesting the cooperative's emissions were limited in scope. Survival rate for these hyper-local wartime cardboard issues is unpredictable — some villages produced tens of thousands, others barely hundreds.
