| Comments |
Vila-rodona is a small municipality in the Alt Camp comarca of Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper currency when metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation in 1936–37. These local emergency emissions — known collectively as "moneda local de necessitat" — were authorized under the chaotic wartime fiscal arrangements that gave municipal councils unusual latitude to print their own scrip. Turró catalogues several thousand such issues; #2874 is among the more obscure.
Imprenta E. Castells in Valls handled printing for a number of nearby municipalities, which occasionally creates confusion when attribution relies on typographic style alone.
