Maçanet de la Selva is a small municipality in the Girona province of Catalonia, and this 10 céntimos note is one of hundreds of locally-issued emergency notes — the so-called moneda de paper — that flooded Republican-held Catalonia from 1936 onward after metallic coinage effectively vanished from circulation. The hoarding and melting of coin during the early months of the Civil War forced even minor ajuntaments to print their own fractional currency.
Turró catalogues this issue under 1392, confirming it as a documented emission rather than an unofficial scrip. Small-town Catalan notes of this period are frequently found with uneven cutting and inconsistent inking — a direct consequence of production by municipal offices without printing infrastructure.
