Moià is a small Catalan town in the Bages comarca, and like hundreds of other municipalities it issued its own fractional paper money during the Spanish Civil War after the Republic's central authorities proved unable to supply adequate small change. These local emergency notes — collectively catalogued in the Turró reference — were produced by the thousands across Catalonia between 1936 and 1939, most in tiny print runs for purely local use.
The printer, C.A.M., was a Barcelona-based house that fulfilled orders for numerous municipal councils simultaneously, which occasionally produced near-identical formats across different issuers — a known source of misattribution in the series.
