10 Céntimos Capellades

Capellades, a small town in the Anoia comarca of Catalonia, had an unusually strong claim to self-sufficiency in paper production — it housed one of the oldest paper mills in the Iberian Peninsula, still operating in the 1930s. When the Republican monetary system fragmented during the Civil War and the Generalitat authorized Catalan municipalities to issue their own fractional currency (the *moneda local* emergency series), Capellades was among the few towns that could actually print its own notes on locally manufactured stock rather than improvising with whatever materials were at hand.

The Turró catalogue documents hundreds of these municipal emissions; most are scarce simply because they circulated hard within tiny communities and were redeemed or discarded almost immediately after the war.
