Reverse description	Circular yellow cardboard field bearing brown-printed Latin text arranged in multiple lines. The upper portion carries the promise-of-payment legend S'abonarà al portador, followed by the large numeral 1 prominently centered in the field, and the denomination PESSETA printed along the lower portion. The typeset layout is austere and functional, typical of Catalan Civil War-era municipal emergency issues.

Additional information	Vilabella is a small municipality in the Alt Camp comarca of Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns, it issued its own emergency paper currency during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of 1937 authorized local entities to produce small-denomination scrip to address the chronic shortage of metallic coin. Cardboard issues from villages of this size were produced in extremely limited quantities, often by local printers with whatever materials were at hand, and survival rates are low — wartime, displacement, and post-war Francoist suppression of Republican-era material all worked against preservation. The Turró reference remains the standard catalog for these Catalan local issues.
