1 Peseta Castelldefels

Castelldefels issued its own emergency small-change notes in 1937 because the Spanish Civil War had effectively destroyed the circulation of metallic coinage — silver and copper were hoarded, melted, or simply absent. Hundreds of Catalan municipalities did the same, producing what collectors now call "moneda local" or "paper de guerra." The Turró catalog documents over a thousand such issuers; Castelldefels sits among the smaller coastal towns whose output was necessarily limited and locally absorbed.

The printer, C.A.M. in Barcelona, handled municipal jobs for multiple Catalan administrations during this period. Castelldefels notes from this series are not common — the town's wartime population was small, surviving quantities modest.
