10 Céntimos Noves de Segre

Noves de Segre is a small municipality in the Alt Urgell comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War it resorted to printing its own emergency fractional currency when the Republic's coinage supply collapsed. The Republican government had effectively lost control of small-change distribution by mid-1937, leaving local councils to fill the gap themselves — often with whatever printer was available.

The C.A.M. imprint links this note to a Barcelona operation that produced emergency issues for numerous Catalan municipalities during the same period, which makes surviving examples relatively identifiable but does nothing to explain away the chronic ink quality problems common to wartime rush jobs from that press.
