| Comments |
Vilanant is a small municipality in the Alt Empordà comarca of Girona, and like hundreds of Catalan villages during the Spanish Civil War, its ajuntament issued emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone coinage disappeared almost entirely from circulation in 1936–37. These local emergency notes — collectively known as paper moneda local or moneda de guerra — were produced under a July 1936 decree authorizing municipalities to issue their own small-denomination scrip.
Turró 2818 is among the more obscure rural issues. The official stamp is the sole authentication device, as was typical for village-level production with no access to printing security infrastructure.
