Granyena de les Garrigues is a small agricultural municipality in the Lleida province of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similarly modest towns, it issued its own fractional emergency currency during the Spanish Civil War after the Republican government's decree of 1937 effectively authorized local bodies to fill the chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage. The stamp served as the sole authentication mechanism — no serial numbers, no watermarks.
At 40 × 31 mm, this is genuinely tiny even by the standards of wartime local issues. Turró's catalogue documents extraordinary variation in quality across these municipally produced notes, and Garrigues comarca examples are among the less-studied.
