One of hundreds of small-denomination emergency notes — known collectively as moneda local or bitllets locals — issued by Catalan municipalities during the Spanish Civil War after the Republican government's inability to maintain adequate coin supply in 1936–37. Tossa de Mar, a small coastal town in the Girona province, issued its own fractional scrip out of practical necessity: the copper and silver coinage had largely vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted.
Turró catalogues these municipal emissions exhaustively; #2588 places this note within a well-documented but physically fragile series. Paper quality in these wartime municipal issues was often poor, and examples with intact edges are harder to find than the catalog density might suggest.
