1 Peseta Baronia de Rialb

One of hundreds of emergency paper issues produced by Catalan municipal authorities during the Civil War, when the collapse of small-denomination coinage left local economies effectively paralyzed. The Centre d'Administració Municipal in Barcelona handled printing for dozens of these ajuntament issues simultaneously — Baronia de Rialb was a tiny rural municipality in the Pallars Jussà comarca, and its notes were almost certainly printed in very small quantities to serve a correspondingly small population.

Municipal issues at this scale rarely traveled far. Most circulated and were redeemed within the issuing community, which is precisely why survivors are disproportionately scarce relative to better-known urban issues from the same period.
