Bell-lloc d'Urgell is a small municipality in the Pla d'Urgell comarca of Lleida. Like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, its ajuntament issued emergency fractional currency in 1936–37 to address a near-total disappearance of metallic coin from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply gone. These municipal emissions were technically illegal under Republican central banking regulations but were tolerated out of practical necessity.
At roughly postage-stamp dimensions on thick card stock, this 1 Pesseta piece was always vulnerable to loss. Surviving examples from minor Urgell municipalities are disproportionately scarce relative to better-documented Catalan town issues.
