Vallmoll is a small municipality in the Camp de Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Spanish Civil War, it issued its own fractional currency when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed in 1936–37. These local emissions — collectively called *moneda local* or *paper moneda* — were authorized under a decree that effectively deputized town councils as emergency monetary authorities. Vallmoll's issues are among the smaller and more obscure of the Catalan series.
Turró's catalog remains the definitive reference for this material, and a high Turró number like 2684 places this firmly in the long tail of minor municipal issuers — documented but rarely traded.
