Lubrín is a small municipality in the Almería province of southeastern Spain, and this 25 céntimos note is a producto of the Guerra Civil — one of thousands of locally issued emergency fractional notes produced by Spanish towns and villages after the military uprising of July 1936 disrupted the national coinage supply. With silver and copper coins hoarded or simply unavailable, municipal authorities across Republican-held territory printed their own paper to keep small transactions moving. Lubrín's issue is catalogued in the Gari Montalvo reference, the standard work for this chaotic class of material.
These provincial emergency emissions were typically printed in tiny quantities and saw hard local use. Survival rates vary wildly by town.
