Tordera is a small municipality in the Maresme comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency in 1937 after the Republic's silver and bronze coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply spent faster than it could be replaced. These locally printed notes were called "moneda municipal" or, more colloquially, "paper de la guerra."
The printer, V. Pedemonte of Calella, produced emergency paper for several Maresme municipalities during this period — Calella being only a few kilometers down the coast from Tordera. A practical choice, and it shows in the shared visual vocabulary across notes from the same press.
