| Comments |
Anna is a small municipality in Valencia's Canals comarca, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper when the Republic's central supply of small-denomination coinage dried up almost entirely after 1936. These local municipal notes — known collectively as papel moneda de urgencia — were typically produced with whatever printing resources existed locally, which is why quality varies so dramatically across the series and why the Anna issues are noticeably modest in execution.
The Turró and Gari catalogues together document the full scope of this wartime municipal emission phenomenon; the dual reference here reflects the overlap between regional and national scholarship on Valencian issues specifically.
