One of hundreds of local emergency notes — known as "paper de guerra" — issued by Catalan municipalities during the Spanish Civil War when Republican-zone villages found themselves without usable coin. Riba-roja d'Ebre sits on the Ebro roughly twenty kilometres upstream from Mora d'Ebre, which made Gràfiques Launes the obvious choice of printer; proximity was the whole point when central supply had broken down.
The Turró catalogue documents this issue as #2102, placing it well within the dense cluster of Ribera d'Ebre municipal emissions from 1937–38.
