Banyoles issued its own fractional currency in 1937 under the wartime decree that allowed Catalan municipalities to produce emergency small change — the Republican government had authorized local ajuntaments to fill the void left by hoarded and disappeared coinage. These municipal notes circulated strictly within the township and were theoretically redeemable once the crisis passed, a promise the outcome of the Civil War made irrelevant.
Turró catalogs this as #290, placing it within the dense cluster of Girona province emissions that are collectively among the hardest wartime locals to assemble into a complete run.
