10 Céntimos La Jonquera

La Jonquera sits at the French border on the main road through the Pyrenees — during the Civil War, that location made it a transit point of real strategic importance. Like hundreds of Catalan municipalities, the Ajuntament issued its own emergency fractional currency in 1936–37 to compensate for the near-total disappearance of small-denomination coinage hoarded at the outbreak of fighting. These municipal issues were locally authorised under the Generalitat de Catalunya's broad sanction of community-level monetary improvisation.

Turró 1280 places this among the documented La Jonquera emissions, though surviving examples in any condition are genuinely uncommon — border-zone municipalities saw high turnover and physical attrition of circulating paper.
