Castelldans is a small municipality in the Garrigues comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Valencian villages during the Civil War, its local council — the Ajuntament — issued its own fractional paper currency when Republican-zone coinage effectively vanished from circulation. The central government's inability to supply small change forced municipalities down to a few hundred residents to become de facto issuers, a situation the Generalitat eventually tried to regulate but never fully controlled.
Turró 713 places this among the documented Lleida provincial emissions, though survival rates for village-level Catalan war issues vary enormously — many were printed in tiny quantities on whatever stock was available.
