| Comments |
Pobla de Segur is a small Pyrenean town in the Pallars Jussà comarca of Lleida province, and this note belongs to the vast emergency currency ecosystem that exploded across Republican-held Catalonia during the Civil War. With the peseta in chaos and coin hoarded out of circulation, hundreds of municipalities — down to villages of a few hundred people — were authorized or simply compelled to print their own emergency fractional currency. Pobla de Segur was no exception.
The Turró catalogue assigns this the reference 1927, placing it firmly in the documented record of Catalan guerra civil local issues. The sole security measure is an official municipal stamp — the standard authentication method for these hyper-local emissions, where printing infrastructure was whatever happened to be available in town.
