Agramunt is a small town in the Lleida province of Catalonia, and like hundreds of other Catalan and Spanish municipalities it issued its own fractional paper currency during the Civil War — a direct consequence of the coin hoarding and metallic currency shortage that gripped the Republican zone from 1936 onward. The central government's inability to supply small change pushed this responsibility onto town councils, guilds, and local committees, producing what collectors now call "moneda local" or "paper moneda."
Printed by a local press rather than any specialized security printer, these notes were produced in very small quantities for purely local use. Turró catalogues this series meticulously; #11 places this value within a documented Agramunt emission rather than among the many undocumented or disputed local issues.
