| Comments |
El Morell is a small municipality in the Camp de Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish localities during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper fractional currency when coinage disappeared entirely from circulation. The Republican government had officially sanctioned local money production through a 1936 decree, giving cover to councils that would otherwise have been improvising illegally.
Turró catalogues only one type for El Morell, suggesting the council issued a single series rather than multiple denominations — modest output consistent with a village of a few hundred inhabitants. Survival rate for these hyper-local Catalan issues correlates strongly with population size; small-town runs were short, and few were preserved.
