25 Céntimos Vilanova de la Barca

Vilanova de la Barca is a small municipality in the Lleida province of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similar towns it issued its own emergency small-change notes during the Spanish Civil War after metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation in 1936. The "Ajuntament Popular" designation — the Popular Municipal Council — reflects the Republican administrative reorganization that followed the July uprising, when locally controlled committees assumed civic authority across the Republican zone.

Turró catalogs this as #2831, placing it firmly within the vast ecosystem of Catalan municipal wartime paper. The stamp was the primary authentication mechanism for notes of this type, applied locally rather than printed, which means unstamped survivors exist and are considered incomplete issues.
