0.25 Pesetas Lluçà

Lluçà is a small municipality in the Osona comarca of Catalonia — population well under a thousand even today — which makes the existence of a formal fractional emission from its ajuntament one of the more striking footnotes of the Spanish Civil War's monetary chaos. Between 1936 and 1939, the collapse of small-denomination coinage across the Republican zone forced hundreds of municipalities, down to the most obscure villages, to print their own emergency fraccions. Turró catalogued over a thousand such issuers.

The official stamp served as the primary authentication — and on notes from localities this small, the stamp is often the only thing separating an authorized emission from a forgery nobody bothered to make.
