| Comments |
Prats de Lluçanès is a small market town in Osona, and like hundreds of Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional currency after the collapse of metallic coin circulation in 1936–37. The Republican government's inability to maintain a functioning small-change supply pushed the burden onto local councils, producing a chaotic patchwork of emergency paper across the region. C.A.M. in Barcelona handled printing for many of these municipal issues simultaneously, which accounts for the family resemblance across notes from otherwise unconnected towns.
Turró catalogues this as a single-type issue, suggesting the council did not extend or revise the series.
