Beschrijving voorzijde Typeset letterpress note printed in red on a dark ochre ground of geometric underprint designs, enclosed within a simple ruled border frame. The entire face is given over to the authorizing text in Catalan, arranged in multiple lines of varying type sizes across the note's field. No pictorial vignette is present, the design relying entirely on typography and the geometric patterned background for its visual structure.

Opmerkingen

Tírvia is a tiny municipality in the Pallars Sobirà comarca of Lleida, with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred during the 1930s. That such a settlement issued its own paper money is not as surprising as it sounds — the Catalan Republican authorities, facing a catastrophic shortage of small-denomination coinage after mid-1936, effectively authorized local councils across Catalonia to produce their own emergency currency (moneda local or paper moneda). Hundreds did exactly that.

What makes this note worth noting is the issuer's scale. Among Catalan wartime local issues, Tírvia's is among the most obscure geographically, produced for a population that could have fit inside a modest village hall.
