Villanueva del Duque is a small municipality in the Córdoba province of Andalusia, and this 25 céntimos piece is one of hundreds of locally-issued emergency fractional notes — known as billetes de necesidad — produced across Republican-held Spain during the Civil War. The collapse of small coinage circulation in 1936–37 forced town councils, trade unions, and local committees to print their own scrip simply to make change. Córdoba province itself fell largely to Nationalist forces early, making Republican-issued local scrip from this area particularly short-lived in circulation.
