Osor is a small municipality in the Selva comarca of Girona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it resorted to issuing its own emergency paper currency when the collapse of normal banking channels left local commerce without a functional medium of exchange. These municipal fractional notes — collectively catalogued under the broader *bitllets locals* phenomenon — were typically produced in very small runs by whatever printer was accessible, often a provincial job shop.
Imprenta Cabruja operated out of Girona and handled a number of these wartime municipal commissions from the surrounding region. The Turró reference places this firmly within that documented corpus.
