15 Centimos Villassar De Mar

Vilassar de Mar, a small coastal town north of Barcelona, issued its own emergency paper currency during the Civil War after the Republic's metal supplies were diverted almost entirely to the war effort. Hundreds of Catalan municipalities did the same between 1936 and 1939, producing cardboard and paper fractional notes to keep local commerce functioning when coinage disappeared from circulation entirely. The Generalitat de Catalunya nominally oversaw these emissions but lacked the administrative reach to standardize them — leaving each ajuntament to design and print its own.
