2 Pesetas Granadella

La Granadella, a small municipality in Les Garrigues comarca (Lleida province), issued these plastic emergency pieces during the Spanish Civil War — part of the broader Republican zone currency crisis that erupted after hoarding and flight capital stripped conventional coinage from daily commerce beginning in 1936. Municipal councils across Catalonia were effectively authorized by the Generalitat to issue local substitutes, and celluloid became one of the more practical materials when metal was being redirected toward the war effort.

The Turró catalogue documents significant variation among Catalan Civil War issues, and the Gari Mon cross-reference to 726-B suggests this falls within a recognized subtype rather than the primary emission.
