1 Peseta Collbató

Collbató is a small municipality in the Baix Llobregat comarca, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional currency after the Republican government's decree of September 1936 authorised local authorities to plug the catastrophic coin shortage caused by hoarding and wartime disruption. The Ajuntament contracted Gràfiques Pere Calmell — a Barcelona commercial printer with no particular specialisation in security printing — which was entirely typical of how these emergency emissions were handled: utility over sophistication.

Turró catalogues this as #852, placing it firmly within the dense Catalan municipal series. Most Collbató notes were redeemed or destroyed after the Nationalist takeover of the region in early 1939.
