25 Céntimos Vilanova de Meià

Vilanova de Meià is a small municipality in the Lleida highlands, and like hundreds of Catalan and Aragonese villages during the Civil War, its ajuntament issued fractional emergency paper when Republican-zone coinage effectively vanished from circulation after 1936. The Generalitat's own sèrie B notes couldn't fill the gap at the local level, which is why municipal issues like this one proliferated wildly through 1937 and into 1938.

Turró catalogues over 3,000 distinct Spanish Civil War local issues, and the Vilanova de Meià pieces are among the more obscure — a municipality small enough that surviving print runs were tiny and contemporary hoarding was minimal.
