La Pobla de Montornès is a small municipality in the Camp de Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Civil War, its council issued fractional paper currency in 1937 to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metal coinage from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply gone. These local emergency emissions, collectively catalogued in Turró's exhaustive reference, were legal only within the issuing municipality and frequently refused even a few kilometres away.
Imprenta Solé in Tarragona handled a significant share of the region's municipal printing work during this period, and their output was competent if modest. Notes from very small issuers like this one survive in genuinely limited quantities — low original print runs and no reason to preserve them after the war ended.
