Perpètua de Moguda is a small municipality in the Vallès Occidental comarca, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when the Republic's central supply of small change collapsed entirely after July 1936. The Generalitat eventually tried to regulate this proliferation of local paper, but enforcement was thin, and municipal issues continued well into 1937.
Turró catalogs this as a single known denomination for the ajuntament. The thick card stock was a local workaround — regular paper supplies were unreliable, and heavier stock survived pocket wear longer in active daily use.
