Rosell is a tiny municipality in the Baix Maestrat comarca of Castelló, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War it issued its own emergency fractional currency when the Republic's small change dried up almost entirely after 1936. These municipal issues — locally called moneda de necessitat or papel moneda local — were authorized under a patchwork of Republican decrees but effectively improvised at the town level, with paper stock, printing quality, and denominations varying wildly from one ayuntamiento to the next.
Rosell's output is sparsely documented. The Gari Monovar catalogue treats this as a single known type, suggesting very limited original production volume. Survivor numbers are correspondingly low.
