| Comments |
Turre is a small agricultural municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of similar towns across Republican-held Spain, it issued its own emergency paper fractional currency during the Civil War after metallic coins effectively vanished from circulation. The Consejo Municipal de Turre authorized these locally — they were not printed by any central authority and were never legal tender beyond the town's own commerce.
Gari Mon catalogues these Almería provincial issues meticulously, but surviving examples from villages of Turre's size are genuinely uncommon. Low print runs, heavy local use, and no formal redemption program meant most were simply discarded when the war ended.
