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.
