| Comments |
Vallfogona de Riucorb is a village in the Conca de Barberà comarca with a population that rarely exceeded a few hundred — and yet, like hundreds of Catalan municipalities in 1937, it issued its own fractional paper currency when the Republic's small-change supply collapsed under wartime pressure. The Generalitat had authorized local emergency emissions, and Imprenta A. Figueres in Tàrrega printed notes for dozens of these small councils across the Urgell and surrounding districts, which is why the typography and paper stock across Turró-catalogued pieces from this printer often look nearly identical despite different issuing authorities.
Turró #2667 places it firmly within the documented Catalan Civil War municipal series.
