Viloví d'Onyar is a small municipality in the comarca of La Selva, Girona, and this note is among hundreds of hyperlocal emergency issues that flooded Catalonia after the Republican government's 1937 decree authorizing municipalities to print their own fractional currency to address a crippling coin shortage. The printer, D. Pla of Farners de la Selva, was a regional press that fulfilled orders for several nearby councils during this period — not a specialist security printer by any measure.
Turró catalogues this as #2898, placing it within a well-documented but enormous body of Catalan municipal issues, most of which had effectively vanished from circulation by the time Franco's forces reached the region in early 1939.
