Vilanova de Segrià is a small municipality in the Lleida province of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similar localities it resorted to emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War after Republican authorities failed to maintain an adequate supply of small-denomination coinage. These municipal issues — collectively catalogued under the broader *Guerra Civil* sèrie — were produced locally with whatever materials were at hand, which accounts for the unusually heavy stock relative to the note's tiny dimensions.
Turró 2856 is among the harder Lleida provincial issues to source in any condition. The print runs for villages this size were small, survival rates are low, and regional collectors have absorbed most known examples.
