| Comments |
Calders is a small municipality in the Bages comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when the Republic's coin supply collapsed in 1936–37. The Consell Municipal — the locally elected republican council — became the de facto monetary authority for the village, authorized under decrees permitting municipalities to issue notes to cover denominations below one peseta that had simply vanished from circulation due to hoarding.
Imprenta Boixeda in Manresa printed a significant number of these municipal wartime issues for surrounding Bages towns. Turró 589 is among the more modestly documented entries in the series.
