| Comments |
Câmara Municipal de Tomar issued small-denomination cédulas like this one during the acute coin shortage that gripped Portugal in the early 1920s. Municipal chambers across the country were authorized to produce emergency paper fractionals to keep local commerce moving when bronze and nickel coinage had effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply worn out of existence by wartime economic strain.
Tomar's issues are among the less documented of the Portuguese municipal cédulas, and MA#2195 turns up infrequently in trade.
