Rasquera is a small municipality in the Ribera d'Ebre comarca of Tarragona, and like hundreds of other Catalan and Spanish towns it resorted to issuing its own emergency paper money during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of 1936 effectively sanctioned local authorities to produce fractional currency to replace hoarded coins. These municipal notes — known collectively as "paper moneda" or "moneda de necessitat" — were produced under wildly inconsistent conditions, and Rasquera's issues reflect the improvised end of that spectrum.
Turró's catalog remains the essential reference for this material, and #2066 places this note among the less-documented emissions where surviving population is genuinely small.
