La Pobla de Lillet is a small municipality in the Berguedà comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similarly sized towns across Republican-held Spain, it was forced to print its own fractional currency after July 1936. The Nationalist blockade and the hoarding of metallic coin left local economies without the means to make change — Consell Municipal issues like this one were a practical response to a very immediate problem, not a monetary policy decision.
Printed by the town's own imprint, Imprenta Barral, this note never circulated beyond a few square kilometers. Turró catalogs it at #1905.
