| Comments |
El Palau d'Anglesola is a small municipality in the Pla d'Urgell comarca of Lleida province. Like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish townships during the Civil War, its ajuntament issued its own fractional paper money after metallic coinage effectively disappeared from circulation in 1936 — hoarded, melted, or simply gone. These municipal vales were a local fix to a nationwide problem, authorized under the Republican government's reluctant tolerance of improvised small-change instruments.
Turró catalogued over two thousand such emissions. Most were printed in tiny quantities on whatever card stock the municipality could obtain, which accounts for the heavier substrate here.
