Cassà de la Selva is a small cork-industry town in the Gironès comarca, and La Protectora was one of dozens of Catalan worker cooperatives that began issuing their own fractional currency after July 1936, when the Republican government's monetary infrastructure effectively collapsed at the local level following the Nationalist uprising. These emergency vales — technically redeemable only within the cooperative's own commercial network — filled the near-total void left by the hoarding and disappearance of small-denomination Republican coinage.
AL#1896 places this squarely within the Arxiu de la Localitat series documenting Civil War-era Catalan local issues. Survival rates for these cooperative vales are extremely uneven; many were redeemed and pulped before the war ended, or destroyed after Franco's forces took Girona province in February 1939.
