| Comments |
One of hundreds of municipal emergency notes issued across Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War, when the collapse of small-denomination coinage supply forced local councils to print their own currency almost overnight. The Ajuntament de Llavaneres de Montal — a small coastal municipality north of Barcelona — issued this 50 céntimos note under the same improvised authority that most Catalan ajuntaments claimed in 1936 and 1937, with no formal sanction from the Republican government in Madrid.
Turró catalogues the series but notes limited survival. C.A.M. handled a significant volume of these municipal commissions, which accounts for the broadly consistent production quality across otherwise unrelated issuers.
