Colldejou is a village in the Baix Camp comarca of Tarragona with a population that barely reached three figures in the 1930s. During the Civil War, the Republican government's decree authorizing local municipalities to issue their own small-change notes — the moneda local — produced thousands of these tiny issues across Catalonia, most in runs so small that survival into modern collections is largely a matter of accident rather than deliberate preservation.
Turró catalogues this as 857, placing it well within the mid-war surge of municipal emissions. At this scale of community, the practical arithmetic of printing costs versus actual economic utility was brutal.
