Puigvert de Lleida was one of hundreds of Catalan municipalities that issued their own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of September 1936 effectively legitimized local money creation to address the chronic shortage of small coin. Arts Gràfiques Ilerda, a commercial printer based in Lleida itself, handled production for several of these municipal issues — proximity mattered when transport was disrupted and time was short.
Turró catalogues this as #2047, placing it within the dense cluster of Lleida province emissions that were redeemable only within the issuing municipality's jurisdiction — meaning notes that strayed even a few kilometers could become worthless overnight.
