Montros is a tiny village in the Pallars Jussà comarca of Catalonia — during the Civil War, dozens of municipalities this small issued their own emergency fractional currency when the Republic's coin supply collapsed after 1936. The Consell Municipal (the locally elected council, often controlled by anarchist or left-republican committees in this region) commissioned Josep Güell's print shop in nearby La Pobla de Segur to produce the notes. Güell was a local commercial printer, not a specialist in security printing, which is reflected in the rudimentary production.
Turró catalogues this as #1608. Given Montros's tiny population, surviving examples are genuinely rare.
