25 Centimos - II Republic Pattern

The Second Republic declared in April 1931 moved quickly to replace all coinage bearing royal imagery, commissioning new designs that reflected the republican government. This 1932 pattern in copper-nickel was part of that broader retooling effort, but the 25 céntimos denomination was never successfully brought into circulation — the Republic's monetary program was repeatedly disrupted by political instability, and the Civil War that began in 1936 effectively ended any remaining ambitions for a coherent republican coinage series.

The Aureo reference places this among a small documented group of approved patterns that never advanced to production strikes.
