Soses is a small municipality in the Segrià comarca of Lleida, Catalonia, and this 2 Pesetas note is one of the emergency paper issues produced during the Spanish Civil War — a period when the Republican government's inability to maintain adequate small-change coinage in circulation forced hundreds of Catalan municipalities to print their own local currency. These pieces, collectively catalogued under the broader "Guerra Civil" local issues, were valid only within the issuing municipality and worthless everywhere else.
Turró's catalogue documents well over two thousand such issues. Being numbered 2400, this one sits toward the upper end of that range — Soses was a modest agricultural town, and its emission would have been small.
