| Comments |
Camarles is a small agricultural municipality in the Ebro Delta, Tarragona province, and this note is among the most local expressions of the Republican wartime economy — issued not by a bank or municipal council but by a workers' union centre affiliated with the UGT, the socialist trade union federation. When the Spanish Civil War disrupted coin circulation after July 1936, thousands of villages, cooperatives, factories, and union branches printed their own fractional paper to keep local commerce moving. The Centre Obrer had no monetary authority in any formal sense; necessity was the only mandate.
Almería catalogue reference AL#2781 places it within the documented Catalan local issues, though survival rates for these ultra-minor emissions are unpredictable — small runs, fragile stock, and little reason to preserve them after the war.
