Additional information

Aigüestoses del Llobregat was a small Catalan municipality that, like hundreds of others, resorted to locally issued cardboard emergency money during the Spanish Civil War after the Republican government's coin supply collapsed in 1936–37. These pieces — technically *moneda local* or *vale* issues — were authorized under desperate improvisation rather than any coherent monetary policy, printed by town councils, cooperatives, or local CNT and UGT committees with whatever materials were at hand. At 48mm, this is an unusually large format for cardboard fractional currency, suggesting it was cut rather than die-stamped.

The Turró reference confirms attribution; its absence from Gari's *Monedes* corpus hints at rarity or cataloguing ambiguity that collectors should treat as an unresolved question rather than a selling point.
