0.50 Pesetas Botarell

Botarell is a small municipality in Baix Camp, Tarragona, with a population that barely reached a few hundred during the 1930s. Like hundreds of other Catalan towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper currency when the Republic's small-denomination coinage disappeared from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply overwhelmed by wartime demand. These municipal notes, collectively catalogued under the Turró reference system, were legal only within the issuing locality and had no standing anywhere else.

Turró 518 is among the more obscure entries in the Catalan municipal series. Documentation on the precise emission date and surviving population is thin.
