Cadaqués issued its own fractional currency in the summer of 1936 as the Republican zone's coin supply collapsed almost immediately after the military uprising. Municipalities across Catalonia — and much of the rest of Republican Spain — were left to solve the small-change crisis locally, printing their own emergency notes with whatever printer was available. Trayter in Figueres was a logical choice for the Alt Empordà coastal villages, handling multiple municipal issues in the region during this period.
The Turró catalog remains the definitive reference for these Catalan guerra civil locals, and Cadaqués sits among the more obscure issuing authorities in the series — a fishing village of a few hundred inhabitants printing money.
