Barberà de la Conca is a small municipality in the Conca de Barberà comarca of Tarragona province, and like hundreds of other Catalan towns it resorted to locally printed emergency scrip during the Spanish Civil War after the Republic's small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation in 1936–37. These municipal emissions — collectively known as "moneda de paper" or paper money of the municipalities — were authorized under Republican decree but executed with wildly varying quality and oversight depending on what printing resources the town actually had on hand.
Turró's catalog remains the definitive reference for this category, and #296 is among the smaller-format Catalan municipals of the conflict period.
