Lloret de Mar's Republican municipal government issued this quarter-peseta note during the Civil War as part of the broader emergency fractional currency that flooded Catalonia after metallic coin all but vanished from circulation in 1936. The Generalitat had authorized local ajuntaments to plug the gap, and hundreds of Catalan municipalities — from major towns to fishing villages — commissioned their own small-denomination paper. Lloret was among them.
Imprenta Casa Franquet in Girona handled production for several of these municipal issues, which kept costs manageable and turnaround fast. The Turró catalog remains the primary reference for this chaotic but historically rich episode in Catalan monetary improvisation.
