Castelldans is a small municipality in Les Garrigues, Lleida, with a population that barely reached a few hundred during the 1930s. That a village this size issued its own fractional currency is less surprising than it sounds — the Spanish Civil War created a catastrophic coin shortage across Republican-held Catalonia, and hundreds of Catalan municipalities printed their own emergency paper fractions (moneda local) to keep markets functioning. The Generalitat de Catalunya formally authorized the practice in 1937, which is precisely when this note appeared.
Turró catalogues it at #707, placing it within a well-documented but enormous series. Surviving examples from minor Lleida municipis are scarcer than those from larger towns, simply because fewer were printed and fewer were preserved once the war ended.
