| Comments |
One of hundreds of municipal emergency notes — locally called vals or bitllets — issued by Catalan town councils during the early months of the Civil War, when the Republican zone suffered an acute shortage of small change after silver and copper coins were hoarded or withdrawn. The Ajuntament de Roda de Barà, a small coastal municipality in Tarragona province, contracted Arts Gràfiques Barnadas in nearby El Vendrell, a printer responsible for several such commissions across the Camp de Tarragona region.
Turró catalogs this issue as #2188, placing it within a documentation project that recorded over 2,000 distinct local emissions from the 1936–1939 period. Roda de Barà's issue is among the more obscure, the town's population being small enough that total print runs were almost certainly minimal.
