Torroja del Priorat is a village of a few hundred inhabitants in the wine-growing hills of Tarragona. Like dozens of Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper when Republican Spain's central coin supply collapsed under wartime hoarding and metal requisitioning. These municipal notes — *vales* or *bitllets locals* — were authorized under a 1936 Generalitat de Catalunya decree that effectively deputized town councils as ad hoc issuers of fractional currency.
The official stamp is the sole security measure, which was typical of the smaller village issues and did nothing to prevent local forgery — though the circulation area was so limited that fraud was rarely worth the effort. Turró catalogues over 2,500 distinct Catalan local issues from this period; Torroja's single denomination suggests a modest, short-lived emission.
