El Palau d'Anglesola is a small municipality in the Pla d'Urgell comarca of Lleida province, and like hundreds of Catalan towns it resorted to locally issued emergency fractional currency during the Spanish Civil War after the Republican government's chronic shortage of small coin created a near-total breakdown in everyday retail transactions. These municipal notes — known collectively as moneda de necessitat — were produced under varying degrees of official oversight, and the quality of materials and printing reflects both the urgency and the limited resources of the issuing body.
The Turró catalogue remains the definitive reference for this class of issue. Turró#1758 is among the more obscure entries in the series, with no documented print run figures.
