Nogueruelas is a small municipality in the Gúdar-Javalambre comarca of Teruel province, Aragon. During the Spanish Civil War, hundreds of towns across the Republican zone issued their own fractional emergency currency — vales, cartones, or billetes locales — to compensate for the catastrophic shortage of small coinage after silver and copper were hoarded or melted down. This 25 céntimos is one of those issues, authorized at the municipal council level with no oversight from Madrid or the Catalan finance authorities.
The thick card stock was a practical choice: local printers had no access to proper banknote paper, and heavier material survived handling in a market or tavern better than thin stock would have.
