| 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.
