Térmens is a small municipality in the Noguera comarca of Lleida, Catalonia. This 1 Peseta note belongs to the vast emergency currency issued by Catalan towns during the Spanish Civil War, when the Republican government's inability to maintain small-denomination coinage in circulation forced hundreds of municipalities to print their own paper money. The Generalitat eventually tried to regularize these emissions, but many small-town issues like this one were produced with minimal oversight and survived in tiny quantities.
Turró's catalog documents over 2,400 such emissions — that this one sits at #2453 reflects just how prolific the phenomenon was.
