Collsuspina is a tiny municipality in the Moianès comarca of Catalonia — population well under a thousand even today. During the Spanish Civil War, the near-total collapse of small-denomination coinage drove hundreds of Catalan municipalities to issue their own emergency paper currency, the so-called "moneda local." Ajuntament de Collsuspina was among the smallest communities to do so, which makes any surviving example inherently scarce simply by virtue of the limited print run a village of that size would have required.
Imprenta Anglada in Vic printed for numerous nearby municipalities during this period, giving notes from the region a recognizable if modest typographic character. Turró 862 is the standard reference for this issue.
