Vidreres is a small municipality in the Selva comarca of Girona, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when the Republic's coin supply collapsed after 1936. The Generalitat had authorized local authorities to fill the gap, producing a proliferation of paper fractions — the so-called moneda local — that numbered in the thousands of distinct issues across Catalonia alone.
Turró 2742 is among the less-documented Vidreres pieces, and surviving examples in any condition are scarce given the small original print runs typical of village-level issues.
