1 Peseta Bellcaire d'Empordà

Bellcaire d'Empordà is a small municipality in the Baix Empordà comarca of Girona, and like hundreds of Catalan and other Republican-zone towns during the Civil War, it printed its own fractional currency in 1937 when coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absent as the war disrupted supply chains. These municipal emissions were authorized under a decree from the Generalitat de Catalunya, which attempted to impose some order on what was otherwise a chaotic proliferation of purely local scrip.

Turró catalogues the issue but surviving examples are genuinely rare; small-town runs were tiny, and most were redeemed or discarded once the Nationalist advance into Catalonia rendered them worthless in early 1939.
