Maldà is a small municipality in the Urgell comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similarly tiny towns, it issued emergency paper fractional currency during the Spanish Civil War. The Republican government's 1936–1937 coin shortage — caused by silver hoarding and the wholesale melting of coinage for war materiel — forced local councils across Catalonia to print their own small-denomination notes to keep daily commerce moving.
Turró catalogues only a single type for Maldà, suggesting the municipality issued minimally and briefly. Notes from villages this small were rarely saved; they were spent until they disintegrated.
