One of thousands of small-denomination emergency notes — "moneda local" — issued by Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, when Republican Spain's coin supply collapsed almost entirely after 1936. Copper and silver were hoarded or requisitioned; towns were left to improvise. Ibars de Noguera, a village in the Noguera comarca of Lleida with a few hundred inhabitants, issued this 10 céntimos piece on card stock simply to keep local commerce moving.
The Turró catalogue documents the chaotic breadth of this phenomenon — over a thousand issuing authorities across Catalonia alone. Most of these local emissions were redeemed and pulped after the war, or destroyed when Francoist forces took control of the region in early 1939.
