Comments

One of thousands of small-denomination emergency notes issued by Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, when the Republic's ability to supply small change collapsed almost entirely after 1936. The Ajuntament de Segúries de Ter — a tiny township in the Ripollès comarca — turned to the Cooperativa d'Arts Gràfiques in nearby Ripoll, a printer that produced wartime paper money for numerous villages across the region.

Turró's catalog documents these local issues exhaustively; #2311 is among the more obscure entries, reflecting a community with a small issuing population and correspondingly limited print run.
