| Obverse description | Circular cardboard provisional token with stamped red ink lettering arranged in a ring around a central denomination inscription. The outer legend reads REPUBLICA ESPAÑOLA, divided across the upper and lower arcs of the border. The central field bears the denomination '0,25 Cts.' in bold type, beneath which appears the issuing authority and date 'MADRID 1937', followed by the word 'PROVISIONAL', indicating its emergency wartime nature. The design is entirely typographic, lacking figurative imagery, consistent with emergency fractional currency produced during the Spanish Civil War. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a stamped impression in reddish-brown ink depicting the coat of arms of Spain as used during the Second Spanish Republic. The shield, supported on either side by the Pillars of Hercules, is surmounted by a mural crown. The heraldic design is rendered in a simplified, slightly blurred stamp impression typical of the rudimentary production methods employed for these emergency cardboard tokens during the Spanish Civil War period. |
