Torroella de Montgrí is a small Catalan municipality on the Costa Brava, and like hundreds of other Generalitat-era towns, its ajuntament issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 when Republican Spain's small-change crisis made coins effectively impossible to find. These hyper-local emissions — sometimes covering a single village's market economy — were authorized under the Generalitat de Catalunya's broader framework permitting municipal bodies to fill the void left by hoarded and requisitioned coinage.
Turró's catalog documents over 2,500 such issues; the numbering alone signals how routine this necessity became across Catalonia before Franco's forces ended the practice entirely.
