| Obverse description | Typeset letterpress text in dark blue on white card stock, arranged in two registers: the upper register carries the municipal authority inscription, while the lower register states the denomination and the guarantee clause citing the Caixa Municipal. Four vertical bars at the right margin render the Catalan heraldic device in a simplified printed form. The overall layout is characteristic of the austere, utilitarian emergency issues produced by Catalan municipalities during the Civil War period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is left largely unprinted on plain cream card stock, bearing a manuscript official signature and a circular municipal seal stamp as the principal authenticating elements. A handwritten serial number appears in the upper right corner, consistent with the individually validated, hand-finished character typical of Civil War-era Catalan emergency currency. |

La Floresta is a small residential locality in the municipality of Les Planes d'Hostoles, Girona — though during the Civil War period it more likely refers to the suburban enclave of La Floresta near Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona. Spanish municipal emergency currency, the so-called *moneda local* or *paper moneda*, flooded Catalonia between 1936 and 1939 as the Republican zone fragmented monetary circulation down to the village level. Hundreds of ajuntaments issued their own emergency fractions when coinage vanished entirely from daily trade.
The Turró catalogue remains the definitive reference for this material, and a listing at #1027 places this squarely within the documented Catalan series — scarce by survival rather than by original print run.
