Rotglá y Corberá is a tiny municipality in Valencia province — today numbering only a few hundred residents — which in 1937 issued its own fractional currency under the emergency provisions that allowed Spanish Republican local councils to print scrip when the central government could no longer guarantee small-denomination coinage in circulation. The Civil War had effectively destroyed the coin supply: hoarding, melting, and republican zone monetary disorganization left ordinary commercial transactions impossible without local stopgaps like this one.
The thick card stock was a practical choice for extremely small-format municipals, helping the note survive pocket wear that would destroy thinner paper issues. Rotglá-Corberá's emission is among the more obscure Valencian municipal scrip issues documented in Turró's corpus.
