1 Peseta Avinyó

Avinyó is a small municipality in the Bages comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similar towns, it issued its own emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War when coin shortages made small transactions nearly impossible. These locally produced notes — known collectively as "paper moneda" or guerra civil local issues — were typically authorized under the Republican government's 1937 decree permitting municipal councils to print fractional currency. Turró's catalog documents well over a thousand such issuers, and Avinyó's single known type is among the more modest in scope.

The extreme miniature format was a deliberate choice across most Catalan municipal issues, mimicking the physical size of the coins they were replacing.
