Toses de la Muntanya is a tiny Pyrenean village in the Ripollès comarca, and like hundreds of similarly small Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own paper money when the Republic's metallic coinage vanished from circulation almost overnight in 1936–37. The Generalitat de Catalunya had authorized local councils to fill the gap, producing a patchwork of emergency scrip that varied wildly in quality and design. This note was printed by the Cooperativa d'Arts Gràfiques in nearby Ripoll, which handled production for several surrounding municipalities during this period.
Survival rates for village-level Catalan war scrip correlate closely with population size — Toses had fewer than a few hundred inhabitants, meaning print runs were negligible.
