15 Céntimos Vacarisses

Vacarisses is a small municipality in the Vallès Occidental comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similar towns it issued emergency fractional currency during the Spanish Civil War after the Republican government's decree of September 1936 effectively authorized local authorities to fill the void left by hoarded and disappeared coinage. The centim denominations produced by these ajuntaments were purely practical stop-gaps, usually printed on whatever card or thick paper stock the local council could source.

Turró catalogs this piece as #2629, placing it within a well-documented but enormous body of Catalan local issues — over three thousand entries — where individual municipal pieces can be genuinely difficult to distinguish from forgeries or later reprints without careful examination of the paper stock and typography.
