Panadería Garrigó was a bakery in Lleida that, like hundreds of small commercial establishments across Republican-held Spain, began issuing its own fractional scrip after the military uprising of July 1936 caused coins to vanish from circulation almost overnight. Hoarding, melting, and the general collapse of confidence stripped the small-denomination coinage from everyday transactions — bread, in particular, required exact change that simply no longer existed. A bakery issuing its own 10-céntimos tokens was not eccentric; it was a practical necessity.
Imprenta Sol was a local Lleida press responsible for a significant quantity of this emergency paper. Lleida fell to Nationalist forces in April 1938, after which Republican scrip of any kind became worthless, and most of it was discarded or destroyed.
