Vallflorida is a small municipality in the Anoia comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similarly obscure towns, it issued its own emergency paper currency during the Civil War after the Republican government's decree of September 1936 effectively authorized local bodies to fill the coin shortage caused by hoarding and metal requisitioning. The Gràfiques Unificades imprint places this firmly within the collectivized printing network operating out of Granollers under anarcho-syndicalist management during that period.
Turró 2661 is among the more obscure municipally-issued fractional notes in the Catalan corpus — Vallflorida's total wartime population was a few hundred at most, meaning original print runs were almost certainly in the low thousands.
