Tremp is a small town in the Lleida province of Catalonia, and like hundreds of Spanish municipalities, it issued its own emergency paper money during the Civil War after the Republic's central government failed to maintain adequate small-denomination coinage in circulation. These local issues — collectively catalogued under the broader "guerra civil" municipal series — were produced under no meaningful standardization, often printed by local shops or even duplicated on office equipment. The Consell Municipal's authorization stamp was the only formality standing between this and a handwritten chit.
Turró's catalogue remains the essential reference for these issues, and the 2602 assignment places this squarely within a well-documented but poorly-surviving regional group.
