Comments
Local Spanish Civil War banknotes: Created by municipalities, cooperatives, unions and other organizations due to the scarcity of fiduciary currency in small purchases and exchanges during the Spanish Civil War.
Municipality: Balsareny - Province: Barcelona - Autonomous community: Catalonia
NOTE: One of the differences between the first issue and the second is the elimination, in the second issue, of the Gothic hermitage located next to the castle due to the anticlerical movement that dominated the Republic.
