Argelaguer is a tiny municipality in the Garrotxa comarca of Girona, and this note is one of hundreds of small-denomination emergency issues produced by Catalan local councils during the Civil War after the Republic's coinage supply effectively collapsed. The Generalitat de Catalunya authorized these municipal emissions in 1937–38 to keep local commerce functioning when metal fractional currency vanished from circulation entirely.
Turró catalogues it under his comprehensive survey of Catalan war-period paper money — the 196 reference placing it among the smaller, less-documented councils whose print runs were modest and survival rates correspondingly low.
