Perafita is a small municipality in Osona, Catalonia, with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred during the 1930s. Like hundreds of other Catalan towns, it issued its own emergency paper currency during the Spanish Civil War under the decree permitting local councils to produce small-denomination exchange notes — the national coinage had effectively vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted almost immediately after the July 1936 uprising.
Imprenta Anglada in nearby Vic supplied a significant proportion of these municipal emissions across Osona, which gives the series a recognizable regional production character. Turró catalogues this as #1803.
