Benifallet is a small municipality in the Terra Alta comarca of Tarragona province, and like hundreds of other Catalan and Valencian towns during the Spanish Civil War, its municipal council issued emergency fractional currency when the Republic's small-denomination coinage vanished almost entirely from circulation by mid-1936. The hoarding and melting of copper and silver coins created a paralysis in daily commerce that Madrid could not resolve quickly enough — so local governments filled the gap themselves, with whatever printing resources were at hand.
Imprenta Querol in Tortosa served several surrounding municipalities in this period, giving notes from this cluster a shared typographic character despite different issuing authorities. Turró 414 is among the scarcer Benifallet pieces.
