Bot is a small municipality in the Terra Alta comarca of Tarragona province. Like dozens of Catalan and Aragonese villages during the Civil War, its municipal council issued its own fractional emergency currency in 1937 when Republican-zone coinage had effectively vanished from daily commerce — hoarded, melted, or simply absent. The Consell Municipal took on the role of a bank by necessity, not design.
Turró catalogues these local Catalan issues exhaustively; #513 places Bot's 25 céntimos among hundreds of similar municipal experiments, most produced on whatever card or heavy paper was locally available.
