Tivissa is a small municipality in the Ribera d'Ebre comarca of Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns it issued its own emergency paper money during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of late 1936 effectively legitimized local currency production to address the acute shortage of coin. Most municipal issues of this type were printed on whatever stock was available locally — often thin, poor-quality paper — and circulated only within the issuing township.
The Turró catalog remains the definitive reference for these Spanish Civil War local issues. Survival rates vary enormously by municipality; smaller Aragonese and Catalan towns frequently printed in quantities of just a few hundred.
