Cabrera d'Anoia is a small municipality in the Alt Penedès comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of Catalan and Aragonese towns, it issued its own small-denomination emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War — a direct consequence of the hoarding and disappearance of metallic coin after July 1936. These municipal emissions, collectively known as *moneda local* or *paper moneda*, were often produced with whatever printing resources the local council had to hand, which accounts for the heavy card stock frequently seen in the smaller denominations.
