Bellcaire d'Empordà is a small municipality in the Baix Empordà comarca of Girona, with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred in the 1930s. That a settlement this size was issuing its own fractional currency in 1937 speaks directly to the collapse of small-denomination coinage circulation across Republican Catalonia during the Civil War — the Generalitat could not supply enough coin, and thousands of municipalities, cooperatives, and trade unions filled the gap with locally printed paper.

Turró catalogues these Catalan emergency issues exhaustively; #363 places this among the more obscure municipal emitters, and surviving examples in any condition are genuinely uncommon simply due to the short window of use and the chaos of the post-war period.
