Tona is a small municipality in Osona comarca, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Civil War, its ajuntament issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 when Republican coinage effectively disappeared from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absent. These local vales were a practical stop-gap, not an official monetary instrument, and their legal standing was always ambiguous. The Generalitat tolerated rather than sanctioned them.
The thick card stock was a deliberate choice: thinner paper deteriorated quickly in daily retail use, and these notes were expected to circulate hard within the town's own commerce until proper coinage returned — which, for Tona, it never did under the Republic.
