| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a faint oval municipal rubber stamp applied directly to the plain cardboard surface, the impression having partially transferred through the disc from the obverse stamp. The stamp impression contains the legend 'AYUNTAMIENTO DE ROQUETAS' encircling a central device, consistent with a standard Spanish municipal seal of the period. The surface is otherwise unadorned, showing the natural fibrous texture of the cardboard substrate. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Roquetes, a small municipality in the Baix Ebre comarca of Tarragona, issued cardboard emergency money during the Spanish Civil War to address a near-total collapse of small-denomination coinage in Republican-held territory. The central Republican government's inability to supply adequate fractional currency forced hundreds of Catalan municipalities to print their own — a phenomenon so widespread that collectors now catalogue thousands of distinct local issues from 1936–1938 alone.
Cardboard wore rapidly in pocket circulation, which is why surviving examples in clean, uncreased condition are genuinely scarce relative to the original print runs.
