Campredó is a small village in the Baix Ebre comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of other municipalities it issued its own fractional paper currency during the Spanish Civil War after the collapse of metallic coin circulation in 1936–37. These local emergency notes — collectively catalogued under the broader Catalonian war scrip literature — were produced with whatever printing resources the local council could access, typically a job printer or even a typewriter and rubber stamp.
Survival rates vary wildly by municipality. Smaller villages printed in correspondingly small quantities, and notes that actually circulated through local commerce took hard wear in a short time.
