Golmés is a small agricultural village in the Pla d'Urgell comarca of Lleida, with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred during the Civil War years. Like dozens of Catalan municipalities, it resorted to printing its own emergency fractional currency in 1937 after metallic coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply overwhelmed by wartime disruption. The Republican government's inability to supply adequate small change pushed this responsibility down to individual towns and villages, producing hundreds of distinct local emissions across Catalonia alone.
Turró catalogues this as #1146, placing it among the better-documented rural issues, though surviving examples from minor Lleida municipalities are considerably harder to locate than equivalent emissions from larger Catalan towns.
