Almenar is a small municipality in the Segrià comarca of Lleida, and like dozens of Catalan and Aragonese towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone coinage effectively disappeared from circulation after 1936. The Generalitat de Catalunya had sanctioned local emergency issues, but coordination was loose — each ajuntament produced what it could, with whatever printing resources were at hand.
Turró catalogues this as #122, placing it within the broader Catalan municipal series. The thick card stock was a practical response to the short print runs and rough handling these notes endured in local commerce.
