1 Peseta Viladrau

Viladrau is a small mountain municipality in the Osona comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns, it issued its own fractional paper currency during the Civil War after the Republican government's coinage collapsed in 1936. These local emergency notes — called "moneda local" or "val" — filled the vacuum left by hoarded and melted metal coinage, and were technically only valid within the issuing municipality.

El Secretariat Català handled a large volume of these small-town commissions out of Barcelona, which accounts for a certain consistency of production quality across otherwise unrelated Catalan issues. Turró's catalog remains the primary reference for this sprawling series, with #2775 placing this note firmly within the documented corpus rather than the many uninventoried variants that still surface occasionally.
