Cabanabona is a tiny municipality in the Noguera comarca of Lleida, Catalonia — population then, as now, numbering in the hundreds. During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone experienced a near-total collapse of small-denomination metallic coinage, hoarded out of circulation within months of the July 1936 uprising. Hundreds of Catalan municipalities, regardless of size, were left to print their own emergency paper to make change. Cabanabona was among the smallest to do so.
The Turró catalogue documents this local fractional money systematically; reference 550 places it within a well-mapped but vast field of Catalan wartime municipals. Cardboard construction was typical of the smallest issuers, who lacked access to proper banknote paper.
