Fulleda is a village in the comarca of Les Garrigues, Lleida province, with a population that barely reached a few hundred in the 1930s. During the early months of the Civil War, the metallic currency hoarding crisis hit rural Catalonia acutely — coins disappeared from circulation almost immediately after July 1936, forcing even the smallest municipalities to print their own fractional emergency paper. Turró catalogued hundreds of these local emissions, but Fulleda's issue is among the more obscure, reflecting just how granular the breakdown of normal monetary supply had become.
The official stamp serves as the only anti-counterfeiting measure — entirely adequate given that the note's practical territory was effectively one village.
