| Reverse description | Plain reverse printed in red ink, sharing the same ochre wide-line rectangular border and geometric background pattern as the obverse. The denomination and issuing authority are restated in a simplified typeset layout centred within the frame, consistent with the austere production standards of Spanish Civil War municipal emergency currency. |

| Comments |
Pueblanueva is a small municipality in Toledo province, and like hundreds of similar towns across Republican-held Spain, it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War to compensate for the acute shortage of small coin. The central government had effectively lost control of the coinage supply by 1937, and local ayuntamientos stepped into the vacuum with handstamped or printed paper chits of wildly varying quality.
The Gari Montaner catalog remains the primary reference for these Spanish Civil War local emissions, and 1191-A designation suggests at least one variant exists within the Pueblanueva 25 céntimos type — worth checking against the plate before cataloging as a single issue.
