Borredà is a tiny municipality in the Berguedà comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when coin circulation collapsed after 1936. The Grafos printing house in Barcelona — collectivized under anarcho-syndicalist control by the CNT-FAI — produced notes for dozens of these local authorities simultaneously, which is why so many Catalan wartime municipals share recognizable typographic conventions despite carrying different issuing names.
Turró's cataloguing of this series remains the essential reference; his numbering for Borredà emissions is sparse, suggesting limited surviving documentation on exact issue quantities.
