| Comments |
Lloret de Mar was one of hundreds of Catalan municipalities that issued emergency paper money during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of May 1937 authorized local authorities to produce small-denomination scrip to address the chronic shortage of coin. The Terme Municipal series was printed locally under wartime conditions, with quality varying considerably across the run.
Turró catalogs this as #1374, placing it well into the documented Catalan municipal emissions. Survivors in any reasonable state of preservation are not abundant — most circulated heavily in a coastal town economy before being rendered worthless when Nationalist forces took the region in early 1939.
