| Comments |
Vidrieria Barcelonesa was a glassworks company operating in Barcelona under the Vilella family partnership. This fractional note belongs to a class of private commercial scrip — known in Spain as vales or moneda de empresa — that proliferated during and after the Civil War when the Republican monetary system collapsed and small-denomination coinage disappeared almost entirely from circulation. Businesses issued their own paper to make change, a stopgap that the Franco government eventually suppressed but tolerated through the early 1940s before enforcement tightened.
The AL catalog reference places it within Andreu i Llamas's comprehensive survey of Catalan local issues.
