Camprodon is a small Pyrenean town in Girona province, and like hundreds of Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, its local council was forced to issue its own emergency currency after the 1936 revolutionary upheaval disrupted the normal banking system and coins vanished from circulation almost overnight. These municipal notes — known collectively as moneda local — were produced in enormous variety across Catalonia, most with very short useful lives before the Republican monetary authorities attempted to consolidate local issues.
Grafos was a Barcelona printing house collectivized under CNT-FAI control during the war, responsible for a significant portion of Catalan municipal paper from this period.
