Cervera's CNT-affiliated consumer cooperative issued these small-denomination emergency vouchers during the Civil War period, when the anarcho-syndicalist collectivization of commerce left ordinary coin change effectively nonexistent across much of Catalonia. The CNT's takeover of local retail and distribution networks meant that cooperative scrip like this functioned as the de facto transactional medium for everyday purchases — bread, oil, basic goods — rather than any state-issued currency.
AL#3295 places this among the thousands of locally documented Catalan guerra civil vales, but Cervera-issued pieces appear infrequently on the market.
