Pratdip is a village in the Baix Camp comarca of Tarragona with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred during the 1930s — which makes the existence of a locally issued emergency note both entirely logical and faintly extraordinary. The Spanish Civil War severed normal coin supply chains almost immediately, and by 1937 hundreds of Catalan municipalities, including the smallest, were authorizing their own paper fractional currency under Republican emergency provisions. Imprenta Solé in Tarragona handled a notable volume of these local issues across the province.
The Turró catalogue remains the primary reference for this material, and Pratdip's single known denomination suggests an issuing authority working at the absolute minimum scale.
