Sollana is a small agricultural municipality in the Valencia region, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper money in 1937 when Republican-zone coin hoarding created a severe shortage of small change. These local issues — known collectively as "moneda local de necesidad" — were produced under a Republican government decree that authorized municipalities to print fractional currency to keep daily commerce moving. Most were printed locally with minimal technical sophistication, often on whatever stock was available.
The Turró and Garicatalunya references confirm this as a documented type, but Sollana emissions are genuinely scarce — the town's small population meant limited issue quantities, and wartime disruption consumed most of them.
