Comments

One of thousands of emergency paper issues — known in Catalonia as "moneda de paper" or more colloquially as "bitllets locals" — produced by municipal councils during the Spanish Civil War after the Republican government effectively lost control of small-denomination coin circulation. Llinars del Vallès, a small town northeast of Barcelona, issued notes through its Consell Municipal under the decentralized authority that Catalonia's wartime administration granted to local bodies in 1936–37.

Gràfiques Unificades in Granollers handled a substantial volume of these local issues across the Vallès Oriental comarca. The printer's collectivized status — reflected in the name itself — was typical of Barcelona-area print shops reorganized under anarcho-syndicalist or UGT control after July 1936.
