Anmerkungen	Albesa is a small municipality in the Lleida province of Catalonia. Like hundreds of Spanish towns, it issued its own fractional emergency currency during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of 1937 authorized local bodies to produce small-denomination notes to relieve the acute shortage of coin. Turró catalogs these Catalan municipal issues exhaustively, and Albesa's 0.50 pesetas piece is among the more compact examples in the series. The thick card stock was a practical response to short print runs on inadequate equipment — heavier stock held up better in brief circulation than thin paper would have.
