| Comments |
Cornudella de Montsant is a small municipality in the Priorat comarca of Tarragona, and this note is one of hundreds of locally issued emergency fractional notes produced during the Spanish Civil War after the Republican government's decree of 1936–37 effectively authorized municipalities and collectives to fill the coin shortage caused by hoarding and metal requisitioning. Imprenta Ferrando in Reus handled a significant volume of these small-town commissions from the surrounding comarca — a regional printer serving a distinctly regional crisis.
Turró catalogues it under #893, placing it within a well-documented but numerically large series where genuine rarity varies sharply from one municipality to the next.
