Sesgueioles is a tiny municipality in the comarca of Anoia, Catalonia — a village with a population that has rarely exceeded a few hundred. That a local council here issued its own currency at all speaks to how thoroughly the Republican monetary apparatus fragmented after July 1936, when the Franco uprising severed normal banking channels and left hundreds of Catalan municipalities to print emergency scrip on whatever materials were at hand.
Turró catalogues only this single denomination for Sesgueioles, which suggests the issue was extremely limited in scope. Thick card stock of this kind was the practical choice when proper banknote paper was unavailable — durable enough to survive brief local circulation without disintegrating.
