Fulleda is a village in the Conca de Barberà comarca of Catalonia — population in the hundreds even today. During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone suffered an acute shortage of small-denomination coinage almost immediately after July 1936, partly because silver and copper coins were hoarded and partly because the CNT and other revolutionary committees disrupted normal economic channels. Hundreds of Catalan municipalities, including tiny ones like Fulleda, printed their own emergency fractional paper to keep local commerce moving.
Turró's catalog documents over a thousand such issues. That this one survives at all is the more remarkable fact.
