Senterada is a tiny municipality in the Pallars Jussà comarca of Lleida, and in 1937 its population would have been well under a thousand. The Republican zone's chronic small-coin shortage — triggered by hoarding and the breakdown of normal monetary supply chains during the Civil War — forced hundreds of Catalan municipalities, however small, to print their own emergency fractional currency. Senterada's note was produced by Josep Güell in the nearby town of La Pobla de Segur, which served as a regional printing hub for several of these local issues.
Turró 2333 is among the more obscure entries in the Catalan municipal series.
