Salou in 1937 was a small coastal municipality with no banking infrastructure to speak of, which forced dozens of Catalan ajuntaments and juntes veïnals to print their own fractional notes when the Republic's centimo coins vanished from circulation almost overnight. The hoarding of metal coinage after July 1936 left local commerce functionally paralyzed, and these emergency paper fractions — collectively catalogued under the broader Catalan wartime issues — were the improvised answer.
Turró 2268 is among the more obscure entries in that corpus. Salou's tiny permanent population in the late 1930s means authorized quantities were almost certainly small, and survival rates for these lightweight paper fractions are poor regardless of issuer.
