Beget is one of the smallest municipalities in Catalonia — a village of perhaps a few dozen inhabitants in the Ripollès comarca. That it issued its own emergency currency during the Civil War is less surprising than it sounds; the Republican zone saw hundreds of local ajuntaments and consells produce paper money after the July 1936 coup disrupted the banking system and created an acute shortage of small change. What is striking is that Beget's consell municipal managed to commission a professionally printed note at all, rather than resorting to a rubber-stamped cardboard chit.
Imprenta Anglada in nearby Camprodon handled production for several of these Ripollès valley issues, which gives the series a degree of typographic consistency unusual among Catalan Civil War locals.
