| Comments |
Anglès is a small municipality in the Selva comarca of Girona, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Civil War, it was forced to issue its own fractional currency after the Republican government's inability to maintain adequate coin supply created a near-total breakdown in small-change liquidity from 1936 onward. These municipal issues — collectible under the broad "guerra civil" emergency category — were authorized under a decree from the Generalitat de Catalunya and typically printed in very limited runs by local printers with whatever materials were at hand.
Turró 158 is among the less-documented Anglès emissions, and surviving examples are genuinely scarce given the note's purely local circulation and the chaos of the Nationalist takeover of the region in early 1939.
