Lloret de Mar was one of hundreds of Catalan municipalities forced to issue their own small-denomination emergency scrip during the Spanish Civil War, when the hoarding of metallic coinage — driven by wartime uncertainty — created an acute shortage of change for everyday transactions. The Generalitat de Catalunya authorized local authorities to print their own notes in 1936, and this tiny card-stock piece from the Ajuntament is a direct product of that decree.
Imprenta Casa Franquet in Girona served a number of small municipalities across the province, which accounts for the family resemblance these local issues sometimes share in typography and layout. At 38 × 35 mm, this is among the smallest formats produced under the scheme.
