Navarcles is a small municipality in the Bages comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similar towns it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of June 1937 authorized local bodies to print small-denomination notes to address the chronic shortage of coin. The Ajuntament turned to Imprenta El Secretariat Català in Barcelona — a press closely associated with Catalan cultural and political publishing — which accounts for the noticeably clean typographic work relative to many rural emissions of the same period.
Turró catalogues this as a single-denomination issue, suggesting the municipality did not produce a full series.
