| Comments |
One of hundreds of emergency municipal and cooperative issues produced across Republican-held Catalonia during the Civil War, after the effective collapse of small-denomination coinage in circulation. The Sindicat Agrícola de Solivella — an agricultural cooperative in a village of a few hundred inhabitants in the Conca de Barberà comarca — issued these notes to keep local trade functioning when the central government could not supply fractional currency fast enough to meet demand.
Ferrando's press in Reus produced a significant number of these local urgency issues for surrounding towns and cooperatives, making it one of the more prolific regional printers of the type.
