| Comments |
Avinyó is a small municipality in Bages, Barcelona province, and like hundreds of Catalan towns it was forced to produce its own paper currency during the Spanish Civil War after the Republican government's decree of May 1937 pushed emergency local issue into overdrive. The Turró catalogue documents these municipal emissions systematically, but many remain genuinely rare simply because the issuing councils were small, the print runs were short, and most notes were redeemed or destroyed when the Nationalist advance ended their circulation.
Little specific documentation survives for the Avinyó emission beyond the physical notes themselves.
