Sagra is a small municipality in the Alicante province of Valencia, and this 25 céntimos note is one of hundreds of tiny emergency issues produced by Spanish local councils during the Civil War after the Republic's small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply lost to the chaos of 1936–37. These municipal vales were technically illegal under pre-war monetary law but were tolerated by Republican authorities out of sheer necessity.
The Gari Mon reference places this among the better-documented Valencian local issues, though surviving examples from villages of Sagra's size remain genuinely scarce.
