| Reverse description | Circular official municipal stamp applied in black ink at centre, enclosing a vignette of a stag's head in profile amid foliage — an heraldic device alluding to the town's name (cérvols meaning deer in Catalan). The legend around the oval reads CONSELL MUNICIPAL DE POBLA DE CIERVOLS. Handwritten catalogue notations appear in the upper right corner. |

| Comments |
La Pobla de Cérvoles is a small municipality in the Les Garrigues comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, its ayuntamiento issued emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone coinage effectively vanished from circulation after 1936. The Turró catalogue documents well over two thousand such municipal emissions across Spain — this being among the smaller and more obscure issuers, surviving examples are genuinely difficult to locate.
At 55 × 50 mm, the note is nearly square, which is atypical even among the already irregular formats common to this class of local wartime scrip.
