Pobla de Masaluca is a tiny village in the Terra Alta comarca of Tarragona, and like hundreds of similarly small Catalan and Aragonese municipalities, its local council issued fractional emergency currency during the Civil War after the Republic's small-change supply collapsed entirely in 1936–37. Turró catalogs well over two thousand of these local emissions, and the Pobla de Masaluca peseta is among the more obscure — the village population then, as now, barely exceeded a few hundred.
Imprenta Bassa in Mora d'Ebre served as the regional printer for several Terra Alta municipal issues, which is why notes from neighboring councils share typographic characteristics.
