Additional information

Nulles is a village in the Alt Camp comarca of Tarragona with a population that barely crested 400 during the 1930s. Like dozens of Catalan and Valencian municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency coinage — *moneda de necessitat* — after the Republican government's hoarding decrees and the near-total disappearance of small copper and silver coinage from circulation by mid-1937. Zinc was the material of last resort, and the dies were cut locally.

Turró catalogued over 1,700 distinct Spanish Civil War municipal issues; Nulles produced just this one.
