Gavà is a small coastal municipality south of Barcelona, and like hundreds of Catalan towns it issued its own fractional emergency currency during the early months of the Civil War, when the Republic's small change effectively vanished from circulation. These local issues — collectively known as moneda local — were produced under municipal authority with whatever printing resources were at hand, which for a town of Gavà's size typically meant rudimentary typesetting and a rubber handstamp as the sole security measure.
Turró 1104 is among the more elusive entries in the Catalan series. The thick card stock was a practical choice, not an aesthetic one — thin paper disintegrated quickly under the handling conditions of wartime retail trade.
