Salàs de Pallars is a small municipality in the Pallars Jussà comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Civil War it issued its own emergency fractional currency when Republican Spain's coin supply collapsed after 1936. The Consell Municipal — the locally elected republican council — authorized these notes to keep daily commerce moving. Josep Güell's print shop in the nearby town of La Pobla de Segur handled production for several surrounding municipalities during this period, which accounts for the family resemblance across a number of Turró-listed Pallars issues.
Thick card stock was deliberate: it extended the working life of notes that the issuing authority had neither the resources nor the expectation to replace.
