0.50 Pesetas Brull

El Brull is a tiny municipality in Osona, Barcelona province, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republican government's 1936 decree authorizing local authorities to print small-denomination notes to replace hoarded coin. Turró 544 is among the more obscure entries in that catalog — El Brull's population was negligible, production quantities were small, and these notes circulated within a strictly local economy for a matter of months before the Nationalist advance rendered them worthless.

The near-square format is typical of the severe paper economy imposed on smaller municipalities, which could afford neither larger sheets nor professional printing.
