One of hundreds of municipal emergency issues produced across Republican-held Catalonia during the Civil War, when the collapse of small-denomination coinage created an immediate transactional crisis. The Consell Municipal of Puigverd d'Agramunt — a village of perhaps a few hundred inhabitants in the Urgell comarca — authorized its own paper currency rather than leave local commerce paralyzed. Printed by Miquel Pera in the nearby market town of Agramunt, the note never circulated beyond a handful of kilometers.
These hyper-local Catalan war issues were officially invalidated after Franco's victory, and survival rates correlate closely with village size — smaller municipalities produced fewer notes, and fewer were saved.
