Torrelameu is a village in the Lleida province of Catalonia with a population that barely reached 400 during the 1930s. That a municipality this small was issuing its own fractional currency speaks directly to the catastrophic coin shortage that swept Republican-held Spain from mid-1937 onward — silver and copper had vanished from circulation almost entirely, hoarded or melted, and the central government had no practical mechanism to resupply hundreds of isolated rural councils.
The printer, Imprenta Unió Obrera in nearby Balaguer, produced emergency notes for several Lleida municipalities during this period. Torrelameu's issue is among the scarcer ones — low original print runs from tiny councils, combined with the chaos of the Nationalist advance into Catalonia in early 1939, left very few examples intact.
