| Comments |
Begudà is a small municipality in the Garrotxa comarca of Girona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper money when the central coin supply collapsed after 1936. These municipal notes — collectively known as moneda local or paper moneda — were authorised under the Generalitat de Catalunya's emergency framework, which gave local councils the power to issue fractional currency to keep daily commerce functioning.
Imprenta C. Barnés of Palamós printed for numerous small Garrotxa and Costa Brava municipalities during this period, making their output identifiable by recurring typographic conventions across different issuing bodies. Turró catalogues this as #338.
