Lliçà de Munt is a small municipality in the Vallès Oriental comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similar towns it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Spanish Civil War when metallic coin disappeared from circulation almost entirely after 1936. These municipal vales were stopgap instruments, often produced locally with whatever printing resources were available — a job press, a rubber stamp, a local stationer. Turró catalogued the issue as #1348, which places it deep into what was an enormous proliferation of hyper-local scrip across Republican-held territory.
Thick card stock was the practical choice for low-denomination pieces expected to survive rough handling in daily market transactions.
