Estopiñán — a small municipality in the Lleida province of Catalonia — issued emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War under the same authority that governed much of local Republican-controlled Spain after the July 1936 uprising disrupted the national banking system. These consell municipal notes filled a genuine void: coins had vanished from circulation almost immediately, hoarded or melted, and the central government could not supply small denominations fast enough to keep local commerce functional.
Litografia Lafont i Miralles in Barcelona handled a significant volume of these Catalan municipal emissions throughout 1936–37, which is why the printing quality here exceeds what one might expect from a village of a few hundred inhabitants.
