Bot is a village in the Terra Alta comarca of Tarragona, with a population that barely reached 1,000 during the 1930s. Like hundreds of Catalan and Aragonese municipalities in the Republican zone, Bot issued its own fractional emergency currency in 1937 because the withdrawal of silver and copper coinage had left small transactions almost impossible to conduct. The Generalitat de Catalunya had authorized municipal issues to fill the gap, but standardization was nonexistent — each town contracted whatever local printer was available.
Josep Bassa's print shop in nearby Mora d'Ebre handled several Terra Alta municipal issues during this period. Turró catalogs this as #512, placing it within a well-documented but numerically vast body of Spanish Civil War local paper.
