25 Céntimos San Miguel de Salinas

San Miguel de Salinas is a small municipality in the Vega Baja del Segura, and this 25 céntimos note is a product of the Republican zone's acute small-change crisis of 1936–37. With metal coinage hoarded or melted down almost immediately after the July 1936 uprising, hundreds of Spanish ayuntamientos were forced to print their own fractional paper — legally sanctioned under a Republican government decree that gave local authorities temporary emergency issuing rights.

The UGT control stamp at the printer, Imp. Alonso in Novelda, reflects the anarcho-syndicalist and socialist union committees that took operational control of many private businesses in the Levante during the war. The stamp isn't decorative — it was the union's assertion of oversight over the production run.
