Vilaller is a tiny municipality in the Alta Ribagorça comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Aragonese townships during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper money when the Republic's supply of small coin collapsed entirely after 1936. These local moneda de nécessitat issues were authorized under a framework from the Generalitat de Catalunya, but production quality, design ambition, and survival rates vary enormously from one council to the next.
The Massilló credit here is unusually specific for a village-level issue — most comparable notes from settlements this small went unsigned or carried only a printer's stamp. Turró catalogues this as #2799, placing it well into the long tail of the series.
