Vilassar de Mar is a small coastal municipality north of Barcelona, and like hundreds of Catalan towns it issued its own small-denomination emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War — local currency made necessary when the Republic's coinage disappeared almost entirely from circulation by late 1936, hoarded or melted down as the war destabilized conventional commerce. The Ajuntament's issues were purely local instruments, valid only within the municipality and redeemable in theory once normalcy returned.
Turró 2891 places this among the better-documented Catalan municipals, though survival in any condition is limited given the note's small physical size and the chaotic end of the Republican zone in February 1939.
