25 Céntimos Montblanc

Montblanc is a small medieval town in Tarragona province, and like hundreds of Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, its ajuntament issued its own fractional emergency currency when the Republic's coin supply collapsed after 1936. The Consell Municipal stepped in as the de facto monetary authority — a role it was never designed to hold. These hyper-local emissions were explicitly temporary, backed by nothing more formal than municipal decree, and most were recalled and destroyed once the war ended or the town changed hands.

Turró catalogues this as #1547, placing it within the densely populated Catalan municipal series. Surviving examples are common enough to find but frequently turn up creased from pocket wear — these were spent, not saved.
