Aigüesbones de Montbui — now part of Santa Margarida de Montbui in Anoia, Catalonia — issued emergency fractional currency during the Spanish Civil War, when coin shortages forced hundreds of Catalan municipalities to produce their own low-denomination scrip. These local paper issues, collectively catalogued under Turró, were authorized under the Generalitat de Catalunya's 1936 decree permitting municipal money creation. Most were printed on whatever card stock was available locally, with an embossed municipal seal serving as the primary anti-counterfeiting measure — modest security for a note that likely circulated within a single village.
