L'Albagès is a small municipality in the Garrigues comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan towns it resorted to locally printed emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War after the Republican government's inability to maintain small-denomination coinage in circulation created a vacuum that municipalities, trade unions, and cooperatives filled themselves. These moneda local issues — catalogued systematically by Turró — were technically illegal under Spanish monetary law but tolerated out of necessity.
The thick card stock used here was a practical choice: purpose-made paper was scarce, and heavier stock survived the handling of daily market transactions better than thin note paper.
