| Obverse description | Letterpress-printed in blue ink over an ocher-toned square-pattern underprint, the face is enclosed within a geometric border frame. All text is set in a plain typeface arranged in block format, carrying the issuing authority, denomination, date of issue, validity clause, and purpose of emission across the field. No pictorial vignette is present; the design relies entirely on typographic composition. |

| Comments |
Soses is a small municipality in the Segrià comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish Republican towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when coins disappeared from circulation entirely — hoarded, melted, or simply gone. These local Republican issues, known collectively as paper moneda de guerra, filled a genuine transactional void at the village level.
Turró catalogues thousands of these municipal emissions; Soses produced very few types. Low original print runs and casual storage mean survivors are typically found in poor condition.
