| Comments |
Sesgarrigues del Penedès is a tiny municipality in the Alt Penedès comarca, and like dozens of similarly small Catalan communities during the Civil War, its agricultural cooperative filled the monetary vacuum left when Republican-zone metal coinage essentially disappeared from circulation after 1936. These locally-issued vales — often printed on whatever card stock was available — were a practical stopgap, not a political statement, though the cooperative structure itself was deeply tied to the anarcho-syndicalist reorganization of rural Catalonia during that period.
The Gari catalogue documents only a single type for this issuer, which suggests the cooperative's emission was brief and limited in volume. Survivors are scarce simply because few were printed to begin with.
