25 Céntimos Botarell

Botarell is a village in the Camp de Tarragona comarca with a population that barely reached 400 in the 1930s. That a settlement this small issued its own paper currency is less surprising than it sounds — during the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone experienced a catastrophic shortage of small-denomination coinage, and hundreds of Catalan municipalities, cooperatives, and even individual businesses printed their own emergency fractional notes, collectively known as paper moneda local or "guerra" issues. The Generalitat de Catalunya eventually tried to regulate and centralize these emissions, but local issues kept appearing regardless.

Turró catalogued over a thousand distinct Catalan issuers from this period. Botarell's entry is among the more obscure.
