20 Céntimos Marçà

Marçà is a small agricultural municipality in the Priorat comarca of Tarragona province, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone coin shortages became acute in 1937. The Generalitat de Catalunya had authorized municipal issues to fill the gap, but the practical execution was left entirely to local councils — hence the enormous variation in paper quality, printing standards, and denominations across surviving examples.

Imprenta Solé in Tarragona handled a number of these small municipal commissions from the surrounding region. The Turró catalog remains the primary reference for these Catalan war-period locals.
