Soses is a small municipality in the Segrià comarca of Lleida, Catalonia. This note belongs to the vast category of Spanish Civil War–era moneda local — emergency paper issued by municipalities, cooperatives, and Republican committees from 1936 onward when metal coinage disappeared from circulation almost entirely. The Turró catalogue documents thousands of such issues; most were printed on whatever stock was available locally and never intended to survive the war.
Turró 2405 is among the scarcer Soses pieces — the municipality's total documented output was small, and survival rates for rural Lleida issues are low given the military activity across the Ebro region in 1938.
