One of hundreds of emergency municipal issues produced across Republican-held Spain during the Civil War, when the hoarding of metal coinage created a crippling shortage of small change. Local councils — many with no financial expertise whatsoever — were authorized to print their own fractional currency, and the results ranged from professionally typeset notes to little more than rubber-stamped slips. Mojácar, a small hilltop village in Almería province, was no exception.
The Gari Montllor catalog remains the primary reference for these Spanish Civil War locals, and the 925-A suffix suggests at least one variant exists within the type — worth confirming against a physical example before cataloging further.
