25 Céntimos Boix de Noguera

Boix de Noguera is a small municipality in the Pallars Jussà comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish townships during the Civil War, it issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 to address the near-total disappearance of metal coinage from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply gone. These municipal notes, collectively catalogued under the Turró system, were legal only within their issuing locality and often printed in tiny quantities on whatever stock was available.

At this scale of issue, survival is largely accidental. Municipal archives for many Pallars Jussà villages were disrupted or destroyed in the Nationalist advance through the region in 1938.
