Mollerussa is a small agricultural town in the Pla d'Urgell comarca of Lleida, and this note belongs to the extraordinary proliferation of locally-issued emergency paper money produced across Catalonia and the rest of Republican-held Spain from 1936 onward. With the outbreak of the Civil War, the hoarding of metal coinage drained small change from circulation almost immediately, and hundreds of municipalities — many of them tiny — were forced to print their own fractional substitutes.
The Turró catalogue remains the authoritative reference for this material, documenting over a thousand distinct local issuers. An official stamp served as the primary authentication device, which also means that unstamped examples, whether printer's remainders or incomplete issues, do exist and should be distinguished carefully.
