Peramola is a tiny municipality in the Alt Urgell comarca of Catalonia, and its wartime paper money belongs to the broader phenomenon of the Guerra Civil emergency issues — locally produced notes that flooded Republican-held Catalonia after the collapse of small-coin circulation in 1936–37. The Generalitat tolerated, and eventually tried to regulate, hundreds of these hyperlocal issues as the silver and copper coinage vanished into hoarding and melting.
Imprenta Sol in Lleida printed for numerous small municipalities across the Lleida province during this period, producing runs that were often in the hundreds rather than thousands. Turró catalogues this issue as #1810 — a high reference number that reflects just how many Catalan municipalities struck their own paper.
