| Comments |
Flix is a small industrial town on the Ebro in Tarragona province, and this note is a product of the anarchist and republican municipal currency explosion that swept Catalonia from 1936 onward. With the banking system disrupted and small coin effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded or melted — hundreds of Catalan municipalities printed their own fractional paper. Flix was one of them.
Turró catalogues this as a scarce local emission. The Ebro front passed directly through this stretch of the river in 1938, and whatever stock survived the war years in the area had little chance of orderly preservation.
