Llavaneres de Montal — today Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, a coastal municipality north of Barcelona — issued emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War under the decree that authorised Catalan municipalities to produce their own small-denomination currency from 1936 onward. The national coinage had effectively disappeared from circulation, hoarded or melted, and local councils scrambled to fill the gap. The C.A.M. press in Barcelona handled an enormous volume of these municipal issues, which explains the functional but consistent typographic quality seen across dozens of different towns.
Turró catalogues this as #1335, placing it within a well-documented but still locally scarce series.
