| Comments |
Prats de Lluçanès is a small market town in the Osona comarca, and like hundreds of Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper currency after the collapse of metallic coin circulation in 1936–37. The Republican government's inability to supply small change pushed this responsibility — and the printing costs — onto local councils with neither the infrastructure nor the expertise for monetary administration. C.A.M. in Barcelona handled the technical side for many of these commissions simultaneously, which is why notes from otherwise unrelated towns share typographic conventions.
