Gisclareny is among the smallest municipalities in Catalonia — a hamlet in the Berguedà comarca that in the late 1930s held only a few dozen inhabitants. That a settlement of this size issued its own emergency paper currency during the Civil War is not unusual in itself; the Republican zone saw hundreds of local ayuntamientos print their own *moneda local* after the collapse of small-change supply in 1936. What is unusual is that Gisclareny's notes survive at all given the near-total absence of any commercial economy that would have circulated them.
Printed by Jaume Molins in Berga, the nearest significant town, Turró catalogues this as #1136.
