| Comments |
Monistrol de Montserrat is a small municipality at the base of the Montserrat massif, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Civil War, its ajuntament issued emergency fractional currency after the Republican government's decree of September 1936 effectively authorized local authorities to fill the coin shortage left by widespread hoarding and metal requisitions. The C.A.M. in Barcelona handled production for dozens of these municipal emissions simultaneously, which is why the printing quality across Turró-listed notes from this period tends to be consistent regardless of the issuing town's size or resources.
Monistrol's emission is not among the rarer wartime Catalan locals, but the series is complete as documented in Turró #1526.
