Alfarràs is a small municipality in the Lleida province of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similarly sized towns, it issued fractional paper currency during the Spanish Civil War to address the near-total disappearance of metal coinage from circulation. The Republican government's wartime economy hemorrhaged small change — hoarding, melting, and simple supply collapse made coins functionally extinct in daily commerce by 1936–37. Local councils stepped in with emergency issues, some printed, some rubber-stamped, some handwritten on whatever material was available.
The Turró catalog remains the authoritative reference for these Catalan municipals. At 50 × 42 mm, this is among the smallest paper instruments of the entire Civil War series.
