Vallfogona de Riucorb is a small municipality in the Conca de Barberà comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of other Spanish towns it was forced to issue its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republic's small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation by mid-1936. These municipal notes — collectively known as paper moneda local or moneda de necessitat — were produced by local print shops working with whatever card stock was available, which accounts for the thicker substrate here. Imprenta A. Figueres in Tàrrega supplied notes to several nearby municipalities, which occasionally causes attribution confusion when undated or unstamped examples surface.
