Cecília de Voltregà is a small municipality in the Osona comarca of Catalonia, and its wartime scrip belongs to the vast ecosystem of Civil War-era paper money that emerged after the Republican government's decree authorizing local councils to issue emergency currency. By 1937, coin had effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absent — and thousands of municipalities across Republican-held Spain filled the gap with locally printed notes. The Imprenta Ausetana in nearby Vic served several Osona councils during this period, which accounts for family resemblances across issues from the region.
Turró catalogues this as #794, placing it within a well-documented but enormous body of material.
