Tragó de Noguera is a small municipality in the Lleida province of Catalonia, and like hundreds of other Catalan and Aragonese townships, it resorted to locally printed emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War when Republican-zone coin shortages became acute after 1936. These municipal notes — vals, as they were commonly called — were often produced with minimal printing infrastructure, sometimes on office stationery or by local printers with no specialized security experience whatsoever.
Turró's catalog documents over 2,600 of these issuances, and #2597 places this note very late in the sequence — one of the smaller and more obscure municipalities to have issued.
