Vallvert d'Urgell is a tiny municipality in the comarca of l'Urgell, Catalonia, and this 1 Peseta note belongs to the vast ecosystem of local emergency currency — moneda de paper — issued by Catalan towns during the Spanish Civil War when metallic coin effectively vanished from daily commerce after 1936. Hundreds of municipalities printed their own, many through local print shops with no experience producing currency, which accounts for the thick card stock and the reliance on an official stamp as the sole security feature.
Imprenta Popular in Bellpuig served several nearby municipalities, which means the same press produced notes for competing local issuers within the same comarca.
