| Opmerkingen |
Reus was one of hundreds of Catalan and Spanish municipalities that printed their own fractional currency during the Civil War after metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation by mid-1936. The Republican government's inability to supply small change forced local councils, trade unions, and cooperatives to fill the gap themselves — legally sanctioned under a decree that gave municipalities the right to issue notes up to 1 peseta. Imprenta De Ferrando was a local commercial press, not a security printer, and the limitations of that show in the production.
Turró catalogues this issue with relative scarcity; Reus-issued notes were redeemed or confiscated after Franco's forces took the city in January 1938.
