25 Céntimos Les Franqueses

Les Franqueses del Vallès was one of dozens of small Catalan municipalities that issued their own fractional paper currency during the Civil War after the Republic's silver and copper coins effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply overwhelmed by wartime demand. The Consell Municipal, under anarchist and left-republican influence like much of the Generalitat's local administration at the time, had little choice but to print its own.

C.A.M. in Barcelona produced municipal emergency issues for numerous towns simultaneously, which means the printing quality is competent but the design work is modest. Turró catalogues over a thousand such local issues; this one sits toward the middle of that sequence.
