| Comments |
Gramenet del Besòs — now Santa Coloma de Gramenet — was a heavily industrialized municipality on Barcelona's northern fringe, and its wartime municipal scrip belongs to the vast ecosystem of emergency small-change notes that proliferated across Republican Catalonia after 1936, when metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation. The Generalitat never fully centralized this process; individual ajuntaments printed their own, resulting in hundreds of distinct local issues.
Indústries Gràfiques Piulats was a genuine Barcelona commercial printer active during the period, not a phantom credit.
