Rosell is a small municipality in the Ports comarca of Castellón, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper currency in 1937 to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metallic coin from circulation. The Republican government had authorized local emergency issues, but quality control was entirely local — meaning design, printing, and numbering were handled by whoever the town had available.
The absence of a Gari Montaner reference number suggests this piece either escaped systematic cataloguing or was documented too late for inclusion. Municipal issues from this region remain among the least-studied of the guerra civil fractional notes.
