One of hundreds of small-denomination emergency notes authorized by Catalan municipal councils during the Spanish Civil War, when the Republican government's chronic shortage of fractional coinage pushed local bodies to fill the gap themselves. The Consell Municipal de Benavent de Segrià — a small agricultural village in the Lleida plain — issued these under the broad decree that permitted municipal paper money from 1936 onward.
Turró's catalog remains the authoritative reference for this material, and his numbering reflects just how many Catalan municipalities participated. Benavent's output was small, which is typical for a village of this size, and surviving examples are correspondingly scarce.
