Santa Eufemia is a small municipality in the province of Córdoba, and this 25 céntimos note is one of hundreds of locally issued emergency pieces that flooded Republican-held Spain during 1937. The collapse of small-denomination metallic coinage in circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply unavailable as the war disrupted supply chains — forced municipal councils across the country to print their own fractional currency under a loosely administered authorization from the Republican government.
The Gari Mon catalogue documents this type as #1322-A, implying at least one variant exists. At 55 × 36 mm on thick card stock, it was built to survive pocket wear better than thinner issues from comparable municipalities — a practical choice that also means surviving examples often show less distress than their paper counterparts from the same period.
