2 Pesetas Gavà; La Sociedad General de Hules, E. C.

During the Spanish Civil War, the collapse of small-denomination coinage circulation forced hundreds of Catalan municipalities and private enterprises to issue their own emergency scrip. La Sociedad General de Hules was a rubber and oilcloth manufacturing company based in Gavà, a small industrial town south of Barcelona. That a factory issued its own 2-peseta notes to pay workers and facilitate local transactions was entirely unremarkable at the time — by 1937, the Generalitat de Catalunya had effectively sanctioned this practice out of necessity.

The AL# reference places this within Andreu/Llach's catalog of Catalan civil war emergency issues, a series where surviving examples in any condition are genuinely uncommon given the ephemeral nature of factory scrip.
