10 Céntimos Torrelameu

Torrelameu is a village in the Noguera comarca of Lleida, with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred during the Civil War years. Like dozens of Catalan municipalities in 1937, the local ajuntament issued its own fractional emergency currency after the disruption to coin supply caused by hoarding and Republican requisitioning of metal. These village-level emissions — collectively catalogued under the broader *moneda de guerra* classification — were produced locally, often on whatever card stock was available, and accepted only within the issuing municipality's immediate area.

Turró 2550 places this among the less documented rural Lleida emissions. Surviving examples are scarce simply because production runs for villages this size were small and the notes had a short practical life.
