| Opmerkingen |
Câmara Municipal de Cuba — the municipality in Portugal's Alentejo region, not the Caribbean island — issued these emergency fractional notes during the acute coin shortage that paralyzed small commerce across Portugal in the years immediately following World War One. The federal government's failure to maintain adequate bronze coinage in circulation forced hundreds of municipal chambers and private firms to print their own low-denomination paper substitutes, a phenomenon that generated an enormous variety of local issues between roughly 1917 and 1922.
The Alentejo issues are among the more obscure of this cédula period, produced in small quantities for purely local use and rarely traveling far from the issuing town.
