1 Peseta Corbera de Terra Alta

Corbera de Terra Alta sits in a stretch of southern Catalonia that became one of the most heavily contested zones of the entire Civil War — the Battle of the Ebro in 1938 reduced much of the town to rubble. This 1937 emergency issue predates that destruction, printed when the Republican municipal council still exercised local administrative authority and the collapse of small-denomination metallic coinage had made everyday transactions genuinely unworkable across Republican-held territory.

Hundreds of Catalan and Aragonese municipalities issued their own fractional notes under similar pressures during 1936–37. Turró catalogues this specific Corbera emission as 881, acknowledging it within a much larger pattern of hyperlocal monetary improvisation that the Republican government tolerated rather than formally sanctioned.
