Commenti	Beget is one of the most isolated settlements in the Garrotxa region of Catalonia — a village that in the 1930s held only a few hundred inhabitants. That a municipality this small issued its own emergency paper currency during the Civil War is less surprising than it sounds: the collapse of small-denomination coinage across Republican-held territory in 1937 forced hundreds of Catalan towns and villages to print their own local scrip under a framework loosely authorized by the Generalitat. Imprenta Anglada in nearby Camprodon produced notes for several of these micro-municipalities, which is why the printing quality across different issuers in the area is often strikingly similar. Turró documents this as reference 334.
