Sarrià de Ter is a small municipality on the Ter River just north of Girona, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Civil War it issued its own emergency fractional currency after the Republic's silver coinage vanished from circulation almost overnight in 1936. The Consell Municipal — the locally elected body that replaced the Ajuntament under revolutionary conditions — authorized these notes to keep small commerce functioning when metal simply could not be found.
Indústries Litogràfiques in Girona supplied several nearby municipalities during this period, which means the printing quality is relatively consistent across the region's wartime issues. Turró 2291 is the standard reference for collectors working this field.
