Fulleda is a village in the Les Garrigues comarca of Lleida province, with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred during the 1930s. Notes like this one were produced under the improvised local currency system that emerged across Republican Catalonia after July 1936, when the banking disruption triggered by the Nationalist uprising made small-denomination coinage effectively disappear from circulation. Municipalities printed their own — sometimes on whatever card stock was available locally.
Turró catalogues hundreds of these Catalan emergency issues, but Fulleda's output was tiny by any measure. Surviving examples are genuinely rare precisely because so few were produced and the issuing authority had no formal redemption infrastructure when the war ended badly for the Republic.
