25 Céntimos Marmolejo

Marmolejo is a small municipality in Jaén province, Andalusia — and like hundreds of Spanish towns, it was forced to issue its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's small coinage essentially vanished from circulation by mid-1936, hoarded or melted almost immediately. These municipal issues, collectively known as billetes locales, were produced under wildly varying conditions: some were typeset locally, some rubber-stamped on card stock cut from whatever was available. Marmolejo's 25 céntimos falls squarely in that improvised tradition.

The thick card construction is typical of municipalities that lacked access to proper banknote paper and used whatever the local printer had on hand.
