| Additional information |
Issued by the municipal government of Cornellà de Llobregat during the Spanish Civil War, this cardboard emergency note — technically a *paper money* substitute rather than a coin in any metallurgical sense — reflects the near-total collapse of small-change supply in Republican-held Catalonia by 1937. The Generalitat and hundreds of local municipalities printed or stamped their own fractional currency because Republican coinage had effectively vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted almost immediately.
Cornellà, an industrial town on the Llobregat river southwest of Barcelona, was a strongly working-class commune with significant anarcho-syndicalist presence during the war years.
