Sudanell is a village in the Segrià comarca of Lleida, with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred during the 1930s. Like dozens of similarly small Catalan municipalities, it issued its own emergency paper money during the Civil War after the Republic's fractional coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absent in rural areas where trust in central institutions had collapsed alongside the front lines moving north.
The Turró catalogue documents hundreds of these Catalan municipal emissions, and Sudanell's entries are among the more obscure. Surviving examples in any condition are seldom encountered outside specialist Iberian collections.
