10 Céntimos La Bisbal d'Empordà

La Bisbal d'Empordà was one of hundreds of Catalan municipalities forced to produce their own emergency fractional currency during 1937–38, after the Republican government's chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage left local commerce essentially unable to function. These municipal issues — known collectively as moneda local — were authorised under a June 1937 decree from the Generalitat de Catalunya, which gave towns the right to print their own circulating paper rather than grind to a halt.

Turró catalogues La Bisbal's issues meticulously, but surviving examples in any condition are thin on the ground — the notes were only ever intended for hyperlocal use, and most were withdrawn or simply discarded when the Nationalist advance rendered them worthless in early 1939.
