Sindicat Agrícola de la Pobla de Montornès was one of hundreds of Catalan agricultural cooperatives that began issuing small-denomination emergency currency after July 1936, when the collapse of central authority and the requisitioning of metal coinage by militias left village economies effectively without small change. Imprenta Cuscó in Vilafranca del Penedès printed emergency notes for several municipalities and cooperatives across the Alt Camp and Penedès regions during this period — a local press serving a genuinely local monetary crisis.
The thick card stock was a practical choice, not an aesthetic one. Paper this heavy wore better in the hands of agricultural laborers and survived the damp conditions of cooperative stores and wine cellars far longer than thinner stock would have.
