Villanueva de la Jara is a small municipality in Cuenca province, Castile-La Mancha. This 25 céntimos note was issued by its local town council during the Spanish Civil War emergency currency period of 1936–1939, when the collapse of small-denomination coinage in circulation forced hundreds of Spanish municipalities to print their own fractional paper. The Garrido Morin catalogue reference places it firmly within that chaotic wave of locally authorized scrip.
Municipal issues from towns this size were typically printed in very small runs, often on whatever paper stock was available locally. Survival rates are low — not because examples were heavily circulated, but because most were never systematically collected and simply discarded once the emergency passed.
