Comments

Pobla de Ciérvoles is a tiny municipality in the Lleida province of Catalonia — population historically in the low hundreds — and like hundreds of other Spanish villages it issued its own emergency paper currency during the Civil War after the Republican government's 1936 decree authorizing local authorities to produce small-denomination notes to address a chronic shortage of coin. The Turró catalogue documents thousands of such emissions, and this one stands among the more obscure.

At this scale of issuer, print runs were typically small and survival rates unpredictable — some village issues disappeared entirely, others survived in quantity because they barely circulated before the Nationalist advance rendered them void.
