| Beschrijving voorzijde | Salmon-toned geometric underprint with blue letterpress text and a decorative floral border framing the entire perimeter. The municipal coat of arms of La Riba appears to the left, balancing the central denomination and issuing authority inscriptions. The overall design is typical of Catalan Civil War-era emergency municipal currency, combining simple graphic elements with official lettering. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The entire reverse is occupied by a panoramic photographic-style vignette of the town of La Riba, capturing the settlement nestled within its characteristic rocky gorge landscape. No additional text or ornamentation accompanies the image, allowing the townscape to serve as the sole design element. The printing reproduces the view in a halftone or similar photo-reproduction technique consistent with modest wartime municipal production. |

La Riba is a small municipality in the Alt Camp comarca of Tarragona province, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, its ajuntament issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 to address the near-total disappearance of metallic coin from circulation. The Republican government had authorized local authorities to fill the gap, producing a chaotic proliferation of municipal notes — Turró catalogues thousands of them — most printed in very small quantities for purely local use.
Imprenta Solé in Tarragona handled several of these small municipal commissions. The thick card stock was a practical choice: it held up better in daily transactions than thin paper and was harder to casually tear or counterfeit at the village level.
