Roquetes is a small municipality in the Terra Alta–adjacent lowlands of Tarragona province, and like hundreds of Catalan and Aragonese towns in 1937, it issued its own fractional emergency currency after the Republican government's collapse of the peseta's small-change supply made everyday commerce nearly impossible. The Consell Municipal authorized these notes under the broad framework of Catalonia's wartime monetary autonomy, which permitted local bodies to print low-denomination scrip backed by nothing more than municipal authority.
Imprenta Querol in nearby Tortosa handled production for several surrounding municipalities during this period, which means the physical printing quality is relatively consistent across the region's issues. Turró's catalog documents over 2,000 such local emissions from the Civil War years — this one among the more obscure.
