| Comments |
One of thousands of emergency municipal notes — "paper moneda" — issued across Catalonia during the Civil War after the collapse of small-denomination coinage. The Republic's peseta had fractured into a patchwork of local scrip, with each ajuntament effectively printing its own currency to keep markets functioning. Sentmenat, a small municipality in the Vallès Occidental, issued this alongside 50 Céntimos notes in the same series.
Turró's catalogue remains the authoritative reference for these Catalan wartime emissions, and 2340 places this firmly within the documented series. Many comparable municipal issues were printed in runs of just a few hundred, making survivorship genuinely uneven.
