Benifallet is a small municipality on the Ebro in Tarragona province, and like hundreds of Catalan and Valencian towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional currency when Republican-zone coinage effectively vanished from circulation after 1936. The Consell Municipal — the locally reorganized governing body under the Republican administration — had the note printed at Imprenta Querol in nearby Tortosa, the obvious choice for small-run emergency jobs in the comarca.
Turró catalogs this as #413. The official stamp was the primary anti-counterfeiting measure, applied individually — meaning unstamped survivors are considered incomplete issues.
