Llardecans is a small agricultural village in the Segrià comarca of Lleida province, and like hundreds of similarly modest Catalan municipalities, it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation by mid-1937. The Generalitat de Catalunya sanctioned this local issuance wave, but production quality and design varied wildly depending on what printing resources a town could actually access.
Imprenta Sol in Lleida handled a number of these municipal commissions from surrounding towns, which gives notes from this regional cluster a certain typographic consistency despite their different issuers. Turró catalogs this as #1332.
