Comments

During the Spanish Civil War, the collapse of small-denomination coinage across Republican-held Catalonia forced hundreds of local institutions — cooperatives, municipal councils, trade unions — to print their own emergency fractional currency. The Sindicat Agrícola Cooperatiu de Vic was one of thousands of issuers, and its notes circulated exclusively within the local cooperative economy of Vic, a market town in the Osona comarca. Indústries Gràfiques Viladot handled an enormous volume of this emergency local paper across Catalonia during this period.

These vales were demonetized and worthless once Nationalist forces took the region in early 1939.
