Puigvert — a small agricultural municipality in the Lleida plain — issued this emergency fractional note during the Spanish Civil War under the Republic's framework allowing local councils to produce their own small-change currency (moneda local). The national coinage had effectively vanished from circulation by mid-1936, hoarded or melted, leaving municipalities scrambling to fill the gap with cardboard and goodwill.
Arts Gràfiques Ilerda was the dominant provincial printer for these Lleida-area emergency issues, producing notes for dozens of surrounding councils across 1937. Their output was competent but not elaborate — thick card stock rather than proper banknote paper, reflecting wartime supply constraints rather than design ambition.
