Cogul is a tiny municipality in Les Garrigues comarca, Lleida province — a village that, at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, had a population barely exceeding two hundred. Like hundreds of other Catalan and Spanish municipalities in 1936–37, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when the Republic's small-denomination coinage vanished from circulation almost overnight, hoarded or melted down in the chaos. These local emissions, known collectively as "moneda de necessitat," were produced with whatever materials the town hall had available.
Turró 844 is among the more obscure entries in the Civil War municipal series. The authenticating stamp is the note's only real security — forgery of such hyperlocal scrip was rarely worth the effort.
