Capafonts is a village in the Baix Camp comarca of Tarragona with a population that barely reached 200 during the 1930s. That it issued its own emergency paper money at all is the point of interest — during the Spanish Civil War, the Republican government's inability to maintain adequate coin circulation forced hundreds of Catalan municipalities, including the smallest, to print their own fractional scrip. These local emissions are collectively documented under the Turró catalogue, which remains the standard reference for the series.
Villages this small typically ran editions of a few hundred notes at most, printed on whatever stock was available locally.
