1 Peseta Chert

Chert is a small municipality in Castellón province, and this note is a product of the Republican zone's near-total breakdown of small-denomination coinage during the Civil War. By 1937, the Republican government had effectively lost control of fractional currency supply, forcing municipalities, cooperatives, and even individual businesses across Catalonia and Valencia to print their own emergency scrip. The Cooperativa Municipal de Consumo — a municipal consumer cooperative — issued this to keep local exchange functioning when metal coins had completely disappeared from circulation.

The Gari catalogue documents hundreds of these Valencian and Catalan emisiones locales, but surviving examples from Chert are genuinely uncommon given the village's size.
