| Comments |
Moià is a small town in the Bages comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency small-change notes when Republican Spain's coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply overwhelmed by wartime disruption. These municipal emissions were authorized under a 1937 decree from the Generalitat de Catalunya, which attempted to bring some order to what had become a chaotic proliferation of purely local scrip.
The C.A.M. print shop in Barcelona handled a large volume of these municipal jobs, which is why Turró catalogues so many structurally similar emissions from across the region. Moià's issue is among the more obscure, reflecting a town of modest size with limited wartime economic reach.
