| Comments |
Llavaneres — today known as Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, a coastal town north of Barcelona — was among the hundreds of Catalan municipalities that issued their own emergency fractional notes during the Spanish Civil War after the Republic's small-denomination coinage vanished from circulation almost overnight in 1936. The Ajuntament simply could not function commercially without small change, and printing locally was the practical solution.
The printer, C.A.M., was a Barcelona house that fulfilled a significant number of these municipal emergency contracts across the region. Turró's catalog documents the note as #1334, placing it firmly within the broader Catalan municipal emission series that remains one of the most intensively catalogued areas of Spanish notaphily.
