| Comments |
During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone experienced an almost total collapse of small-denomination coinage — hoarded, melted, or simply absent — forcing hundreds of Catalan municipalities to print their own emergency paper currency. Vallvert d'Urgell, a tiny settlement in the Urgell comarca of Lleida province, was among them. The notes were printed at Imprenta Popular in nearby Bellpuig, a local press that produced emergency issues for several surrounding municipalities during 1936–37.
Official stamp validation substituted for any formal monetary authority. The Turró catalogue remains the definitive reference for these Catalan municipal emissions; the 2697 designation places this among the rarer rural issues.
