Caldas da Rainha is a mid-sized spa town in the Estremadura region, and like dozens of Portuguese municipalities in 1920, its câmara municipal issued emergency fractional cédulas to compensate for the near-total disappearance of low-denomination coin from circulation. The national shortage of bronze and nickel coinage during and after the First World War drove this wave of municipal paper across Portugal — by 1920 the phenomenon was widespread enough that the state eventually moved to suppress it.
The Caldas da Rainha issues are among the more obscure entries in the municipal cédula series, with survival rates reflecting the disposable nature of small-change paper. One centavo bought almost nothing by 1920.
