Pobla de Claramunt is a small municipality in the Anoia comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of other Spanish towns, it issued its own emergency paper money during the Civil War when the Republic's central government failed to maintain an adequate supply of small-denomination coinage. These hyper-local emissions — known collectively as "moneda local de necessitat" — were often produced on whatever card stock or printing equipment the local council could lay hands on, with no central oversight of design or quality.
Turró catalogues this emission but surviving examples are rarely encountered, which is typical of low-denomination issues from small municipalities where print runs were modest and the notes wore out fast in daily use.
