2 Pesetas Lilla

Lilla is a tiny municipality in the comarca of Conca de Barberà, Tarragona, with a population that barely reached three figures during the 1930s. That it issued its own emergency paper money at all is the point of interest — under the Republican government's 1937 authorization, hundreds of Catalan municipalities flooded the local economy with hand-stamped cardboard notes to address the acute shortage of small coinage that wartime hoarding had produced.

Turró 1303 places this among the rarest tier of local Catalan Civil War issues, where survival rates correlate almost directly with original population size.
