Espinho's Associação Comercial e Industrial issued these small-denomination cédulas during the acute coin shortage that paralyzed Portuguese retail commerce in the years following World War One. Copper and bronze had been systematically hoarded since the early 1910s, and by 1920 the problem was severe enough that local merchants' associations across Portugal were printing their own fractional notes rather than wait for Lisbon to solve it.
These emergency issues were technically illegal under Portuguese monetary law but were tolerated out of necessity. Espinho, a small coastal town whose economy ran largely on fish canning and seasonal trade, had particular need for low-denomination small change.
