Vinebre is a small municipality in the Ribera d'Ebre comarca of Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns, it resorted to locally printed emergency scrip after the outbreak of the Civil War in July 1936 caused a near-total collapse of small-denomination metallic currency. The Republican government's inability to supply adequate coinage to rural areas forced municipalities — many with no printing infrastructure whatsoever — to issue their own paper. Vinebre's example, signed by Mariano Pradell, almost certainly as alcalde or a municipal treasurer, falls squarely within that emergency wave of 1936–1937.
Turró catalogues over 3,000 such emissions. The sheer number of issuing bodies means survival rates vary wildly by town size — smaller populations generally produced smaller print runs, and fewer notes survived post-war.
