10 Céntimos Vila-rodona

Vila-rodona is a small municipality in the Alt Camp comarca of Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper currency when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed entirely in 1936–37. The hoarding of metallic coinage — driven by wartime panic and the disappearance of silver and copper into private hands — forced municipal councils to print or stamp their own fractional notes on whatever material was available. Cardboard was common; 45mm is unusually large for a 10-céntimo piece, suggesting it was sized for legibility rather than pocketability.
