| Comments |
Calonge de Segarra is a municipality in the Anoia comarca of Catalonia with a population that barely reached 300 during the 1930s — which makes the survival of any paper money it issued quietly remarkable. These tiny local emissions belong to the Catalan moneda local phenomenon of the Civil War period, when the Republican-controlled Generalitat encouraged municipalities to issue their own fractional notes as coin shortages became acute after 1936. The Ajuntament's official stamp is the only security feature — no serial numbers, no complex printing.
Turró catalogues this under #615, suggesting it is documented but genuinely scarce.
