Sant Pol de Mar is a small coastal municipality north of Barcelona, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional emergency currency in 1937 when the Republic's small-change shortage became acute. The Generalitat de Catalunya had authorized municipal emissions through its decree of September 1936, giving legal cover to what was already happening informally across the region.
At 45 × 35 mm, this is among the smallest format emissions in the Turró catalog — more token than note. Thick card stock was a practical choice at this scale; thinner paper would not have survived even brief pocket handling.
