1 Peseta Calella

During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican government's inability to maintain adequate small-change supplies forced hundreds of Catalan municipalities to print their own emergency fractional currency — known collectively as "moneda local" or "bitllets locals." Calella, a small coastal town in the Maresme comarca north of Barcelona, was among them. These municipal emissions were authorized under a 1936 decree from the Generalitat de Catalunya, which attempted to bring some administrative order to what was already happening spontaneously at the local level.

Turró's catalog remains the definitive reference for this material, and #600 places Calella's 1 Pesseta squarely in the middle of a very crowded field. Survival rates vary enormously by municipality — some issues are genuinely rare, others surfaced in bulk from town archive hoards decades later.
