| Comments |
One of hundreds of emergency municipal issues produced across Republican Catalonia after the July 1936 uprising disrupted normal coin supply. The Generalitat had authorized local authorities to issue their own fractional paper currency, and small towns like Agramunt — a market town in the Urgell comarca with fewer than three thousand inhabitants — took that mandate seriously, commissioning their own printer rather than relying on centralized production.
Miquel Pera printed this locally, which means quality and consistency varied by press run. Turró's cataloguing of these Catalan municipals remains the authoritative reference, and Agramunt's issues are modestly scarce simply because of the town's size.
