| Comments |
Lloà is a tiny municipality in the Conca de Barberà comarca of Tarragona, and like dozens of similar villages across Republican-held Catalonia in the summer of 1936, its local supply committee — the Comité d'Abastos — issued its own paper currency after the military uprising collapsed normal banking and drained coin from circulation almost overnight. These hyper-local notes were never legal tender beyond the issuing community, and many circulated only among a few hundred people at most.
The Turró catalogue reference places this squarely within the well-documented but still incompletely surveyed body of Catalan emergency paper. Printed by J. Llop-Faset, a regional job printer, with an official stamp as the sole security feature.
