One of hundreds of locally issued emergency fractional notes produced by Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, when Republican Spain faced a catastrophic shortage of small-denomination coinage. The central government's inability to supply adequate change forced town councils — including tiny ones like Corbera de Llobregat — to print their own scrip simply to keep local commerce functioning. Imprenta Nieto in Barcelona handled production for numerous such councils, which is why the printing quality across many Turró-catalogued municipals is broadly consistent despite their nominally separate origins.
