San Ginés de Vilasar — now known as Vilassar de Mar — was a small coastal town north of Barcelona, and during the Spanish Civil War its local cooperatives and municipal bodies issued their own fractional scrip when Republican Spain's small-change crisis made official coinage effectively unavailable. La Fraternal was one of several worker cooperative associations that stepped in to fill that gap locally. These hyperlocal emissions were often printed on whatever card stock was at hand, in very small runs, and distributed only within the issuing community — which is precisely why survival rates are low and provenance is almost always tied to a single town or neighborhood.
