Additional information

Aigüestoses del Llobregat — a small spa and resort municipality in the Berguedà comarca — issued cardboard emergency currency during the Spanish Civil War, when the Republican government's monetary infrastructure collapsed at the local level. Municipalities, collectives, and cooperatives across Catalonia filled the vacuum with their own scrip, a phenomenon so widespread that collectors now track thousands of distinct issues. The large 48mm format was typical of cardboard Civil War emissions, sized for legibility rather than pocket convenience.

Turró and Garí remain the two principal references for Catalan war-era local issues; cross-referencing both is necessary since neither catalogued the full corpus independently.
