El Catllar is a small municipality in the Camp de Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, its ajuntament issued its own emergency paper currency when the Republic's supply of small-denomination coinage collapsed entirely. Turró catalogs these local emissions exhaustively, and #786 sits among the more obscure entries — a village note with a print run that was almost certainly in the hundreds rather than thousands.
Survival rates for these wartime municipals are erratic. Many were redeemed and pulped; others simply vanished with the communities that issued them when Nationalist forces arrived.
