One of hundreds of emergency small-change notes issued by local antifascist committees across Republican Catalonia in the months following the July 1936 military uprising, when the effective collapse of central banking authority left ordinary commerce without coins. The Comitè Local Antifeixista de Granyena de les Garrigues — a village in the interior of Lleida province with a population in the low hundreds — issued these notes to plug a gap that Madrid and Barcelona were simply not filling fast enough.
Turró catalogues this as #1180, placing it within a dense sequence of Garrigues comarca issues from the same period. Survival rates for notes from settlements this small tend to be poor; print runs were modest and wartime displacement did the rest.
