| Beschrijving voorzijde | Plain face printed in red letterpress with a black serial number; the denomination and issuing authority are set out in block lettering, with Series A designation at upper left. Validation is provided solely by a dry embossed municipal seal, the only element attesting to the issuing entity. The overall design is austere, consistent with wartime emergency issue practice. |

Amposta is a small town on the Ebro Delta in Tarragona province, and this 1 Peseta note is one of hundreds of emergency local issues that flooded Catalonia and the rest of Republican Spain after the military uprising of July 1936 effectively broke the national coin supply. Silver and copper vanished almost immediately — hoarded, melted, or simply lost in the chaos — and municipalities were left to fill the gap themselves.
The Turró catalog documents over a thousand such issuers. Amposta's series is modest, and surviving examples show heavy use, which is exactly what you'd expect from a note circulating in a wartime market town rather than a regional capital.
