Llardecans is a small municipality in the Segrià comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Aragonese towns, it issued its own fractional emergency currency during the Spanish Civil War when the Republic's coin supply collapsed entirely after 1936. These local vales — often printed by whatever job printer was nearby — filled the vacuum left by hoarded and melted metal coinage. Imprenta Sol in Lleida handled several municipal commissions of this type across the region.
The near-square format is a function of the tiny denomination, not an affectation. The official stamp was the primary authentication device, applied individually to each piece after printing.
