| Comments |
Vandellòs was a small agricultural municipality in the Camp de Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional emergency currency after the Republican government's decree of September 1936 effectively authorized local councils to plug the coin shortage caused by hoarding and wartime disruption. Imprenta Solé in Tarragona produced notes for several of these municipal issuers across the province, working under considerable material constraints.
The official stamp serves as the primary authentication device — a telling sign of how rudimentary the security apparatus was for these local emissions.
