1 Peseta Castelló d'Empúries

One of hundreds of municipal emergency notes issued across Republican-held Catalonia during the Civil War, when the collapse of small-denomination coinage left local councils scrambling to keep markets functional. Castelló d'Empúries, a small medieval town in the Alt Empordà comarca, issued its own fractional currency under the authority granted to local bodies by the Generalitat de Catalunya in 1937.

Turró's catalog remains the definitive reference for these Catalan municipals, and 745 places this note among the lesser-issued series — print runs for most Alt Empordà towns were small, and post-war destruction was thorough.
