Commenti	Batea is a small municipality in the Terra Alta comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper money when the Republican government's supply of small-denomination coinage effectively collapsed after 1936. The Consell Municipal — the local governing council operating under Republican authority — commissioned Josep Bassa's print shop in the nearby town of Mora d'Ebre to produce this 1 Peseta note, a practical solution to a very immediate problem of daily commerce. Turró catalogues these Catalan municipal emissions exhaustively; #316 places Batea firmly within a pattern of hyper-local wartime liquidity measures that ended abruptly as Nationalist forces swept through Terra Alta in early 1938.
