One of hundreds of emergency fractional notes issued by Catalan municipalities during the Spanish Civil War, when the Republican government's inability to maintain small-denomination coin circulation forced local authorities to print their own. Girona's council joined this wave in 1937, producing a series of peseta-fraction notes to cover daily transactions that metal coinage could no longer handle. The phenomenon was so widespread across Catalonia that collector catalogues like Turró run to thousands of individual municipal entries.
Survival rates vary sharply by town — smaller municipalities printed short runs, many of which were never formally demonetized through any organized redemption scheme after Franco's victory.
