Golmés is a small municipality in the Pla d'Urgell comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of other Spanish towns during the Civil War, it faced an acute shortage of metallic small change almost immediately after July 1936. Local businesses, cooperatives, and municipal bodies began issuing their own fractional paper tokens — the so-called "moneda local" or emergency scrip — to keep daily commerce moving. Casa Macari was a pastry shop, and its quarter-peseta note would have circulated almost entirely within the village itself.
The Generalitat de Catalunya eventually attempted to regularize and withdraw these emissions, but enforcement was uneven. Many pieces were never redeemed.
