| Comments |
Anglès is a small industrial town in the Selva comarca of Girona, and like hundreds of Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper currency when the Republic's coin supply collapsed entirely after 1936. These local emissions — generically called "moneda de necessitat" — were authorized under a decree from the Generalitat de Catalunya and typically printed by whatever resources the town council had to hand. Quality varied enormously.
Turró 161 places this within a well-documented but frequently incomplete series. Municipal notes from smaller Selva towns survive in far lower numbers than those from Barcelona or Lleida, partly because local redemption drives in 1939 were thorough.
