| Comments |
Baronia de Rialb is a sparsely populated municipality in the Lleida highlands — in 1937, its wartime administration issued fractional paper currency because Republican Spain had almost no small coin in circulation. The peseta coinage had been hoarded, melted, or simply vanished from trade, and municipalities across Catalonia filled the gap with locally printed notes under emergency authority granted by the Generalitat de Catalunya.
The Centre d'Administració Municipal in Barcelona produced notes for dozens of these small councils simultaneously, which kept production costs down but means the printing quality varies little between issues from entirely different towns. Turró 311 is among the more obscure entries in that catalog.
