One of hundreds of emergency municipal notes — "moneda de paper" — issued across Republican-held Catalonia after the Civil War disrupted normal currency supply. Bellpuig d'Urgell, a small town in the Urgell comarca, was among the smaller issuers; notes from towns of this size typically circulated within a very limited radius and were often redeemed or simply discarded once the crisis passed, which explains their relative scarcity today.
Grafos was a Barcelona printing cooperative collectivized early in the war, producing municipal paper for dozens of local councils under the anarcho-syndicalist structure that reorganized Catalan industry after July 1936.
