5 Céntimos Cervià de les Garrigues

Cervià de les Garrigues is a small municipality in the Garrigues comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan towns it resorted to locally printed emergency fractional currency during the Spanish Civil War after the Republican government's coin supply collapsed in 1936–37. These tiny municipal issues — vales, as they were commonly called — were produced with whatever printing resources the local council could access, and the thick card stock used here reflects that improvisation: it was more durable than standard paper and easier to handle as a substitute coin.

Turró catalogues over 2,000 distinct Catalan municipal issues from this period. Cervià de les Garrigues was a village of a few hundred people. The print run was almost certainly negligible.
