Balenyà is a small municipality in Osona comarca, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Spanish Civil War, its ajuntament issued emergency fractional currency when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed entirely in 1936–37. These local emissions — collectively catalogued under the billets locals framework — were legal tender only within the issuing municipality, which in a town of Balenyà's size meant a circulation radius of a few kilometers at most.
Imprenta Anglada in nearby Vic produced notes for several Osona municipalities during this period, which occasionally causes attribution confusion when examples surface without full provenance.
