La Pobla de Lillet is a small municipality in the Berguedà comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similarly sized towns it issued its own emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War — the peseta coins that would normally have handled small transactions having disappeared from circulation almost entirely by 1937, hoarded or melted. The Consell Municipal turned to the local print shop, Imprenta Barral, rather than any central authority, which makes this note a purely domestic product in every sense.
Turró catalogues it as #1901. Local-press wartime sèrie notes from villages of this size survive in wildly uneven numbers — some print runs were tiny, others were over-issued and worn to nothing.
