1 Peseta Chirivel

Chirivel is a small municipality in the province of Almería, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War it issued its own emergency paper money when coinage vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply disrupted by the chaos of 1936–37. These local emissions, collectively catalogued under the Spanish *billetes locales* or *moneda municipal* category, were authorized under Republican decree but produced with whatever printing resources the town had on hand. Quality and survival rates vary enormously.

The Garicano-Montalvo reference gap (Mon#–) indicates this piece remains unassigned a formal catalog number, suggesting it is either poorly documented or genuinely rare in collector hands.
