| Comments |
Lloret de Mar, like hundreds of Catalan municipalities, issued fractional paper currency during 1937 to address the acute shortage of metallic small change that followed the hoarding and disappearance of coin from circulation after July 1936. These local emergency emissions — known collectively as moneda local or paper moneda — were authorized under the Generalitat de Catalunya and printed regionally rather than in Barcelona, which accounts for Imprenta Casa Franquet of Girona handling the job.
Turró catalogues this as #1378, placing it firmly within the documented Catalan civil war emission corpus. Small-town issues from this period survive in wildly uneven numbers — some municipalities printed only a few hundred notes before the Republican zone collapsed in early 1939.
