Botarell is a tiny municipality in the Camp de Tarragona with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred during the 1930s. Like dozens of Catalan villages during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper money after the hoarding of coins — driven by uncertainty and metal requisitions for the war effort — created an acute shortage of small change. These emergency municipals, known collectively as "guerra" notes or moneda de necessitat, were a grassroots solution to a breakdown the Republican government in Madrid was slow to address.
Turró catalogues several hundred such issuers from Catalonia alone, and Botarell's 50 Céntimos sits among the more obscure entries — issued by a council with minimal printing resources, tiny original quantities, and no reason to produce more than local commerce briefly required.
