Corbera de Llobregat is a small municipality in the Baix Llobregat comarca, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, its ayuntamiento resorted to printing its own fractional currency after the Republican government's hoarding decree of 1936 made coin virtually impossible to obtain for everyday transactions. These local emergency emissions — known collectively as "moneda local de necessitat" — were technically illegal under Spanish monetary law but were tolerated out of sheer necessity.
The printer, identified in the margin as Nieto at Carrer de Casp 41 in Barcelona, handled a number of similar municipal commissions during the conflict. Turró catalogues this as #871.
