| Comments |
Torla is a small mountain village in the Aragonese Pyrenees, and like hundreds of similarly tiny municipalities across Republican Spain, it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War when coins disappeared from circulation almost entirely after 1936. The Consejo Municipal — effectively the local revolutionary council — authorized these céntimos notes to keep basic commerce moving. Tip. Santamaría in Barbastro handled printing for several such local issues in the Huesca province.
Barbastro itself fell to Nationalist forces in early 1938, which puts a hard terminus on any notes from the region bearing Republican municipal authority.
