Sallavinera d'Anoia is among the smallest municipalities in Catalonia — a village of a few hundred souls that, like hundreds of other Catalan towns, issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Spanish Civil War when the Republic's small-change supply collapsed entirely in 1936–37. These local emissions, collectively catalogued in Turró's exhaustive reference work, were legal under a Generalitat de Catalunya decree that authorized municipal treasuries to fill the vacuum left by hoarded and disappeared coins.
The thick card stock was a practical choice under wartime printing constraints, not an aesthetic one. Many such notes were hand-stamped rather than properly printed, and survival rates vary wildly by municipality — smaller villages produced smaller runs.
