The central text block carries the legal authorization clause specifying mandatory circulation within the municipal district, along with the date of the issuing agreement and the denomination. The composition is entirely typographic, consistent with local emergency currency production of the Civil War period. |

One of hundreds of municipal emergency notes issued across Catalonia during the Civil War, when the collapse of small-denomination coinage left local governments with no practical alternative. The Ajuntament de Vilobí d'Onyar — a small Selva comarca township — contracted Imprenta D. Pla in nearby Farners de la Selva for the job, a hyper-local arrangement typical of how these notes were produced: town council, village printer, a few kilometers between them.
Turró catalogued over three thousand such issues; this one, at #2897, sits deep in that count. Survival rates for low-denomination Catalan municipals vary enormously by print run, which for villages this size was often in the hundreds rather than thousands.
