Ultramort is a hamlet in the Alt Empordà comarca of Girona with a population that has historically hovered below 100 people — one of the smallest municipalities in Catalonia to issue its own emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War. The note belongs to the moneda de necessitat phenomenon of 1936–1937, when the collapse of small-denomination coinage forced hundreds of Catalan municipalities, however tiny, to print their own fractional currency to keep local commerce moving.
Turró's catalog places this as the sole known denomination for Ultramort, which is consistent with a community of that size having no practical need for multiple values.
