Gandesa is a small town in the Terra Alta comarca of Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish Republican municipalities in 1937, it issued its own emergency fractional paper currency when the central government's coinage supply collapsed under the pressures of the Civil War. The Generalitat de Catalunya had authorized local councils to fill the gap, producing a chaotic but historically dense field of wartime scrip — over a thousand distinct municipal issues are documented for Catalonia alone.
The Battle of the Ebro, fought in large part around Gandesa in 1938, destroyed much of the town. Notes from this issue that survived did so largely outside the region.
