| Comments |
Torroella de Fluvià is a small municipality in the Alt Empordà comarca of Girona, and like hundreds of Catalan towns it issued its own emergency paper currency during the Spanish Civil War — a direct consequence of the Republican government's failure to supply adequate coinage to the provinces after 1936. These municipal issues, catalogued exhaustively by Andreu Turró, were printed under wildly varying conditions: some by proper presses, others by local print shops producing what amounted to glorified receipts.
The Turró 2559 reference places this firmly within that corpus. Survival rates for notes from villages of this size tend to be low — small print runs, local redemption drives, and wartime destruction all worked against them.
