Castelldans is a small municipality in the Garrigues comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Valencian towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper money when the Republic's small coins effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply not produced fast enough. These local emergency issues, collectively known as moneda local or paper moneda, were authorized under a 1936 decree from the Generalitat de Catalunya that permitted municipalities to cover the gap.
Turró's catalog remains the definitive reference for these issues. Castelldans produced a small series; survival rates for low-denomination municipal notes from rural Lleida towns are generally poor, since most were redeemed, lost, or simply discarded once the war ended and the issuing authority ceased to exist.
