| Comments |
Cervera's 1937 emergency peseta belongs to the vast wave of locally-issued paper produced by Catalan municipalities after the Civil War disrupted the national coin supply. The Republican government's decree of late 1936 authorizing local authorities to issue small-denomination notes unleashed hundreds of distinct issues across Catalonia alone — Cervera among them.
Turró catalogues these municipal emissions exhaustively, and #810 is one of the less commonly encountered Lleida province pieces in circulated grades, largely because small-town runs had limited print quantities and suffered heavy attrition in daily use.
