| Comments |
Peramola is a tiny municipality in the Alt Urgell comarca of Lleida province — its 1937 emergency paper issue was one of hundreds produced by Catalan local governments after the Republican administration authorized ayuntamientos to print their own fractional currency to address the acute coin shortage that followed the July 1936 uprising. Imprenta Sol in Lleida handled a significant number of these small-town commissions, and their output varied considerably in quality depending on the print run and materials available mid-war.
Survival rates for Peramola's issues are low simply because the town's population was — and remains — among the smallest of any issuing municipality in the series.
