1 Peseta Bassella

Bassella is a tiny municipality in the Alt Urgell comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency in 1937 when the Republic's small change effectively disappeared from circulation. The Generalitat de Catalunya had authorized local councils to fill the gap, producing a wave of highly localized notes — many from villages with populations well under a thousand — that were valid only within their own municipal boundaries.

Turró catalogues this one at #312. The thick card stock was a practical choice; lighter paper tended to deteriorate quickly under heavy local handling.
