1 Peseta Altafulla

Altafulla is a coastal municipality in the Camp de Tarragona with a population that barely reached a thousand in the 1930s. During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican government's decree of September 1936 authorized local councils throughout Catalonia to issue their own small-denomination emergency currency after metallic coin vanished almost entirely from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply lost in the chaos of the early war months. Ajuntament d'Altafulla responded like hundreds of other municipalities, commissioning this peseta note from Imprenta Sugrañes in Tarragona, a regional printer responsible for a significant number of the Camp de Tarragona's local emergency issues.

Turró's catalog documents over 1,500 distinct Catalan municipal emissions from this period, and Altafulla's modest single-denomination series is among the more obscure entries.
