Pins del Vallès is now known as Santa Maria de Martorelles — a municipal rename that happened decades after this note circulated, which gives it a mild identity puzzle for catalogers encountering the issuer name cold. Like hundreds of Catalan ajuntaments during 1936–37, the council issued fractional paper to plug the coin vacuum created when silver and copper disappeared from circulation almost overnight after the July 1936 uprising. Viladot was one of the busier Barcelona print shops handling these emergency municipal commissions.
Turró lists only the single type for this issuer, suggesting the council's need was brief or the print run small.
