Seva is a small municipality in the Osona comarca of Catalonia, and this note belongs to the extraordinary proliferation of locally issued emergency currency that swept through Republican-held Spain after July 1936. With the outbreak of the Civil War disrupting coin supplies — silver and copper hoarded almost immediately — thousands of Spanish municipalities printed their own fractional paper to keep local commerce moving. Ajuntament de Seva was among the smallest of those issuers, which is precisely why Turró-catalogued examples from villages like this attract serious attention: print runs were tiny and survival rates brutal.
