25 Céntimos Vilademat

Vilademat is a small municipality in the Alt Empordà comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similarly sized towns, it issued its own emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War — a direct consequence of the Republic's chronic small-change shortage from 1936 onward. The Consell Municipal, acting through the Ajuntament, had the legal backing of the Generalitat de Catalunya's decree authorizing local currency issues, but in practice these small-town emissions were produced on whatever printing resources were locally available.

Turró documents this series with a single reference number, suggesting the 25 céntimos was not part of a broad multi-denomination emission. Very few Alt Empordà municipal issues saw wide collector attention before Turró's cataloguing work systematized them.
