Canet de Mar is a small coastal municipality north of Barcelona, and like dozens of Catalan towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional currency after the Republic's small-change crisis left daily commerce paralyzed. These local emissions — known as moneda local or moneda de guerra — were authorized under a 1937 Generalitat decree that briefly legitimized what had already become widespread improvised practice.
The printer, Indústries Madriguera Col·lectivitzada, was itself a product of the anarcho-syndicalist collectivizations that swept Barcelona's industrial sector after July 1936. A private printing firm taken over and run collectively by its workers.
