| Opmerkingen |
During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican government's acute shortage of small-denomination coinage — silver and copper had largely vanished from circulation through hoarding — forced municipalities across Catalonia to issue their own emergency paper currency. Guimerà, a village of only a few hundred inhabitants in the comarca of l'Urgell, was among the smallest communities to do so. These local emissions, collectively catalogued as "paper moneda," had no validity outside their issuing municipality.
Printed by Antoni Figueres in nearby Tàrrega, the note shares its press with emissions from several other l'Urgell towns of the same period. Survival rates for Guimerà issues are low — tiny print runs, wartime disruption, and the post-war suppression of anything associated with Republican municipal authority all worked against preservation.
