1 Peseta Bellvís

Bellvís is a small municipality in the Pla d'Urgell comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it was forced to produce its own fractional currency after the hoarding and disappearance of metallic coin left local commerce at a standstill. The Republican government had authorized municipalities to issue emergency paper from 1936 onward, which produced an enormous proliferation of hyper-local notes — Turró's catalog documents well over a thousand distinct issuers from this period.

Bellvís's output was modest, and surviving pieces are rarely encountered outside specialist collections of Guerra Civil municipal issues.
