Tabernes de Valldigna is a small municipality in Valencia's Safor comarca, and this 25 céntimos note is a product of the Republican zone's acute small-change crisis of 1936–37. The central government's inability to keep copper and silver coinage in circulation — hoarding was immediate and near-universal once war broke out — forced hundreds of Valencian municipalities to print their own fractional emergency paper. Tabernes was one of dozens in the province doing exactly this simultaneously.
The Gari and Turró references confirm it's catalogued but the note remains genuinely scarce, as most municipal issues of this type were printed in small runs and saw hard local use before being superseded by Republican regional issues later in the war.
