| Comments |
Granyena de Segarra is a small municipality in the comarca of La Segarra, Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Valencian towns during the Spanish Civil War, it issued its own local emergency currency after the gold and silver coinage disappeared from circulation almost overnight in 1936. The Republican government's decree authorizing municipal and cooperative issues gave legal cover to what was already happening by necessity. Imprenta A. Figueres in nearby Tàrrega supplied notes to multiple surrounding ayuntamientos during this period, which occasionally produces attribution confusion between issues.
The sole security feature is an official municipal stamp — typical of the smallest-population issuers, who lacked the means for anything more elaborate. Turró 1185 places it firmly in the documented corpus, though surviving examples from villages of this size are genuinely scarce.
