25 Céntimos Orba

Orba is a small village in the Alicante interior — population measured in hundreds, not thousands — which makes the decision to issue local emergency currency during the Civil War both unremarkable in national terms and quietly extraordinary at the village scale. The Republican government's inability to maintain small-denomination coinage in circulation by 1937 forced municipalities down to the township level to fill the gap themselves, producing thousands of distinct local emissions across loyalist territory.

The Gari Mon catalogue places this among the rarer Alicante provincial issues. Production was almost certainly done on whatever press or duplicating equipment the ayuntamiento had to hand, which accounts for the printing variability collectors encounter across surviving examples.
