Cantallops is a tiny municipality in the Alt Empordà comarca of Girona, with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred in the 1930s. During the Civil War, the Republican government's inability to maintain adequate supplies of small-denomination coinage — partly due to hoarding, partly due to wartime metal shortages — pushed local councils across Catalonia to issue their own emergency paper. The Generalitat ultimately sanctioned and catalogued these emissions, but the initiative was municipal.
An issue from a village this small will have had a correspondingly tiny print run. Survivors are scarce.
