Sant Pol de Mar is a small coastal municipality north of Barcelona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional emergency currency after the Republican government's decree of September 1936 effectively authorized local bodies to fill the coin shortage left by hoarding and melting. The Turró catalog documents thousands of these emissions; 2283 is a high sequence number, reflecting just how many municipalities participated.
At 45 × 35 mm on card stock, this is among the smaller local emissions — practical for a town of a few thousand residents with no printing infrastructure beyond what a local press could manage.
