| Obverse description | Printed in dark blue letterpress on brownish-gray card stock, the face carries the municipal authority text in bold capitals across the upper and central registers, with four vertical bars at the right margin referencing the Catalan heraldic emblem. The denomination and guarantee clause appear in smaller type below the main inscription. The overall layout is typographic, devoid of pictorial vignettes, consistent with wartime municipal emergency issue practice. |

La Floresta is a small residential district within Sant Cugat del Vallès, near Barcelona, and like hundreds of Catalan municipalities it issued its own emergency paper currency during the Civil War after the Republican government's Decree of 24 June 1937 authorized local bodies to produce small-denomination notes to combat the acute shortage of coin. The Ajuntament de La Floresta was among the smaller issuers — the district's limited population meant production runs were correspondingly modest, which is the principal reason Turró-listed examples from this locality are rarely encountered today.
