| Reverse description | The reverse is printed directly onto the light blue cardboard disc and features the municipal coat of arms of Vilassar de Mar at centre, depicting a quartered shield with the four bars of Catalonia on the left and a stylised castle above a sea motif on the right, enclosed within a circular cartouche with foliate scroll ornaments. The date '1937' appears below the central arms within the cartouche. The legend 'CARTO MONEDA D'OS PROVISIONALS' arcs around the upper field, and 'VILLASSAR DE MAR' is inscribed at the foot of the design. A decorative beaded border frames the entire reverse. |

| Additional information |
Vilassar de Mar, a small coastal town north of Barcelona, issued its own emergency paper currency during the Civil War after the Republic's metal supplies were diverted almost entirely to the war effort. Hundreds of Catalan municipalities did the same between 1936 and 1939, producing cardboard and paper fractional notes to keep local commerce functioning when coinage disappeared from circulation entirely. The Generalitat de Catalunya nominally oversaw these emissions but lacked the administrative reach to standardize them — leaving each ajuntament to design and print its own.
