Torà de Riubregós is a small municipality in the Segarra comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similar towns it issued its own emergency small-change notes in the opening months of the Civil War after metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation. The Republican government eventually moved to suppress these local emissions, but by then thousands of ajuntaments had already printed their own — this Turró-catalogued piece being among them.
The Turró reference places it firmly within the documented Catalan municipal series, though survival rates for small-denomination notes from minor municipalities are poor; most were redeemed or simply discarded once regional scrip took over.
