2 Pesetas Massalcoreig

Massalcoreig is a small municipality in the Segrià comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of other Catalan and Aragonese towns, it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Spanish Civil War when Republican-zone coinage vanished from circulation almost entirely. These hyper-local municipal issues — collectively catalogued under the broader "Guerra Civil" paper money corpus — were typically produced in tiny quantities, often on whatever card stock the local council had to hand, and redeemed (or not) within the issuing municipality only.

Turró 1479 is among the less-documented entries in the series. Surviving examples are rare simply because the issuing authority was small and the notes were never meant to travel far.
