25 Céntimos Gelida

Gelida is a small municipality in the Alt Penedès comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of other Catalan and Spanish Republican-controlled towns, its ajuntament issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after metallic coinage effectively vanished from circulation by mid-1937. These hyper-local issues — collectively catalogued in the thousands across Spain — were a direct consequence of the Republican government's failure to supply small-denomination coins to the provinces in sufficient quantities.

Turró 1111 places this squarely within the documented Gelida emission. Paper local issues from small Catalan municipalities at this denomination were often printed in very limited runs and saw intensely local circulation, rarely traveling beyond the issuing town's market.
