Corbera de Alcira — now officially known simply as Corbera — is a small municipality in the Ribera Alta comarca southeast of Valencia. During the Civil War, the collapse of the Republican monetary supply chain forced hundreds of Valencian municipalities to print their own emergency fractional currency. This 1 Peseta is one of those local emergency issues, authorized under the decrees that permitted municipal councils to fill the void left by the disappearance of small coinage from circulation — silver and copper having been hoarded or melted almost immediately after July 1936.
The official stamp serves as the primary authentication device, a feature common across the Valencia province issues catalogued by Turró.
