Ribes del Penedès is a small municipality in the Alt Penedès comarca, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional currency in 1937 to compensate for the near-total disappearance of small coin from circulation — hoarded almost immediately once the Republic's monetary situation became uncertain. The Generalitat de Catalunya formally authorized municipal issues of this kind, which is why so many survive with consistent printing quality despite their local origins.
The C.A.M. printer in Barcelona handled a remarkable volume of these municipal emergency notes across the region, giving many of them a shared aesthetic despite different issuing authorities.
