Agullana is a tiny municipality in the Alt Empordà comarca of Girona, sitting almost on the French border — a position that became critical in the final weeks of the Spanish Civil War when it served as one of the last transit points before the mass refugee exodus into France in early 1939. This note belongs to the wave of local emergency paper money issued across Catalonia and Republican Spain after the July 1936 military uprising fractured coin supply chains and caused hoarding to strip small-denomination metal from circulation almost overnight.
Turró catalogues these Agullana municipals as genuinely scarce, reflecting both the tiny issuing population and the chaos of the border region in the war's closing phase.
