1 Peseta Barbastro

Barbastro, a small Aragonese town, was one of dozens of Spanish municipalities that issued their own emergency paper money during the Civil War after the Republic's central coin supply collapsed entirely in 1936–37. These local emissions — collectively called "moneda local de necesidad" — were authorized loosely, often printed quickly, and almost always redeemed (or voided) within months. The Consejo Comarcal y Local combined both the district and municipal authority into a single issuing body, an arrangement forced by the wartime reorganization of Republican administration in Aragón.

The C.A.M. in Barcelona handled a considerable volume of these provincial emergency jobs, which is why the printing quality tends to be more consistent than notes produced by local commercial printers under worse conditions.
