| Comments |
Castellgalí is a small municipality in the Bages comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similarly sized towns it issued its own paper money during the Spanish Civil War when the Republican government authorized local councils to produce emergency small-denomination currency to address the chronic coin shortage of 1936–37. The Centro Administrativo Municipal in Barcelona produced notes for dozens of these local issuers, acting as a centralized printer for what was otherwise a deeply fragmented municipal money supply.
Turró's catalog remains the essential reference for these Catalan wartime emissions, documenting over a thousand distinct issues from municipalities that in many cases printed only a few hundred notes total.
