| Comments |
Agullana sits in the far northeast corner of Catalonia, less than five kilometers from the French border — a geography that made it strategically critical during the final collapse of the Republic in early 1939. Municipal emergency paper of this kind was issued across Catalonia from 1936 onward to address the acute shortage of metallic coin after silver and copper were absorbed by the war economy. Hundreds of Catalan municipalities printed their own low-denomination notes, but relatively few border towns survived the chaotic retreat with any documentary record intact.
Turró catalogued this as number 15, placing it within a broader regional emergency emission rather than a formal banking series.
