Comments

Sarrià de Ter is a small municipality in the Gironès comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similarly sized towns, it issued emergency fractional currency during the Spanish Civil War after metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation by mid-1936. The Generalitat de Catalunya authorized local bodies to fill the gap, producing what collectors call "guerra civil locals" — a sprawling, poorly documented series of which Turró's catalog remains the primary reference.

At 32 × 32 mm, this is among the smallest formats in the entire Spanish municipal issue run. Square cuts of this size were almost certainly guillotined from larger printed sheets, and centering is rarely true on surviving examples.
