1 Peseta El Vendrell

El Vendrell is a small Catalan town south of Barcelona, and like hundreds of other municipalities during the Spanish Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency in 1937 when the Republic's coin supply collapsed under wartime hoarding and metal requisitions. These local issues — known collectively as "moneda local de necessitat" — were authorized under a Generalitat de Catalunya decree and printed by whatever press happened to be available in town. In this case, Arts Gràfiques Barnadas was local to El Vendrell itself, which is relatively uncommon; many smaller municipalities had to send their orders elsewhere.

Turró catalogues over three thousand such municipal emissions, and survivorship is wildly uneven — some towns printed in tiny quantities, others in excess of actual need.
