25 Céntimos Villarrodrigo

Villarrodrigo is a small municipality in the province of Jaén, Andalusia, and like hundreds of similarly sized Spanish towns, it resorted to issuing its own emergency fractional paper during the Civil War after coins vanished from circulation almost entirely by mid-1936. The Republican zone's chronic shortage of small change drove municipalities, trade unions, and local cooperatives to print their own — legal in practice if not always in strict authority. Most of these issues were printed on whatever stock was locally available, often thin and fragile, which accounts for the near-universal condition problems seen across this entire class of Spanish Civil War municipal notes.
