Riudecanyes is a small agricultural village in the Camp de Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional currency after the Republican government's decree of May 1937 authorised local councils to print emergency notes to address the chronic shortage of small change. The Imprenta Sanjuan in nearby Reus handled production for several of these village issues simultaneously, which is why the printing quality across Turró's Camp de Tarragona entries feels oddly consistent for wartime emergency scrip.
Riudecanyes had a population of a few hundred. That circulation base makes survivorship genuinely limited — not by destruction but by sheer volume printed.
