25 Céntimos La Riera de Gaià

La Riera de Gaià is a small municipality in the Camp de Tarragona, and this 25 céntimos note is one of the thousands of locally issued emergency fractional currencies — billetes de necesidad — that flooded Catalonia and the rest of Republican Spain after the Civil War's outbreak disrupted the coin supply in 1936. Imprenta Solé, a Tarragona commercial printer, produced material for several of these small-town issues in the province, which accounts for the family resemblance in paper weight and typography across the region's humbler emissions.

Turró catalogues over 2,000 distinct Spanish Civil War local issues; this one from a village of a few hundred residents sits firmly in the obscure end of that spectrum.
