Vic was one of dozens of Catalan municipalities that issued emergency fractional paper money during the Civil War after metallic coin effectively vanished from circulation by mid-1937. The Generalitat de Catalunya had authorized local councils to fill the gap themselves, resulting in a sprawling ecosystem of hyper-local issues that varied wildly in quality and legal standing depending on who was in charge and how much money the town had.
Indústries Gràfiques Viladot was a competent Barcelona commercial printer, not a security press — these notes carry no sophisticated anti-counterfeiting features, which was typical of the whole municipal series rather than a deficiency specific to Vic.
