Navàs is a small industrial town in the Bages comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, its ajuntament resorted to printing its own fractional currency after the Republican government's coin supply collapsed in 1936–37. Hoarding, melting, and the sheer disruption of the war had effectively stripped small-denomination coins from circulation, leaving local commerce at a standstill.
The Turró catalogue documents over 1,800 distinct Catalan municipal issues from this period — Navàs among the smaller and less-documented emitters. The official stamp served as the primary authentication device, a practical solution for a body with no access to sophisticated printing security.
