25 Céntimos Santa Pola

Santa Pola is a small coastal municipality in Alicante province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, its municipal council issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 to address the acute shortage of small change — a problem that plagued the Republican zone as coin hoarding intensified and the central government's supply lines faltered. These local "monedas municipales" were authorised under Republican decree but produced entirely at the municipality's own initiative, with quality varying wildly between townships.

The Gari Mon reference places this within the documented Alicante regional issues. Many comparable notes from small Valencian coastal municipalities were printed in very limited quantities and saw short active circulation before the Nationalist advance through the region in 1938-39 rendered them worthless.
