Cabra del Camp is a village in the Alt Camp comarca of Tarragona province, and like hundreds of Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper fractional currency when Republican-zone coinage all but vanished from circulation after 1936. The Generalitat had authorized local councils to fill the gap, producing a chaotic proliferation of town-specific paper that was technically only valid within the issuing municipality's boundaries.
Imprenta Solé in Tarragona printed for numerous small councils in the province, which means the physical production quality here is more consistent than the note's obscure origin might suggest. Josep M.ª Moratò signed as alcalde — he would have been a wartime appointment, the pre-war municipal structure having been displaced by revolutionary committees across much of the region.
