1 Peseta Almacelles

Almacelles is a small agricultural municipality in the Segrià comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Aragonese towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper currency in 1937 when Republican-zone coinage essentially disappeared from circulation. The central government in Madrid and the Generalitat de Catalunya both struggled to supply small change, leaving municipalities to fill the gap with locally printed emergency scrip — legal within their own market squares, worthless a few kilometers away.

Imprenta Sol in Lleida produced notes for several Segrià-area municipalities during this period, which occasionally creates attribution confusion when printer's marks are faint or absent. Almacelles fell to Nationalist forces in April 1938 during the Aragon offensive, after which all Republican municipal scrip became instantly void.
