Jérica is a small municipality in Castellón province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its municipal council issued fractional emergency notes when the Republic's coin supply collapsed under wartime hoarding and metal requisitions. The 25 céntimos denomination was among the most common targets for local emergency issues precisely because copper and brass coinage in that range had all but vanished from circulation by mid-1937.
The thick card stock construction is characteristic of municipalities that lacked access to proper banknote paper and improvised with whatever the local printer had on hand.
