| Comments |
Albons is a tiny municipality in the Alt Empordà comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similarly small townships, its municipal council began issuing fractional paper currency during the Spanish Civil War after the Republican government's 1936 decree authorizing local bodies to produce emergency small change. The national coinage had effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absent — and the gap fell to whoever had a rubber stamp and a printing press.
Turró catalogs this emission as #72, placing Albons among the smaller and less documented issuers in the series. Population of the village was under five hundred; the total emission was almost certainly modest.
