25 Centimos Gavà; La Sociedad General de Hules, E. C.

During the Spanish Civil War, the collapse of small-change supply forced hundreds of Catalan municipalities and local enterprises to issue their own emergency fractional currency — a phenomenon documented across the region between 1936 and 1939. La Sociedad General de Hules was a rubber and oilcloth manufacturer based in Gavà, a coastal industrial town south of Barcelona, and this 25 céntimos note is a direct product of that breakdown in monetary supply chains rather than any formal authorization from Republican banking authorities.

The AL# reference places it within the Allepuz catalog of Spanish Civil War local issues, the standard reference for this material. Gavà examples are not commonly encountered outside specialist Catalonia collections.
