1 Peseta Forès

Forès is a municipality in the Conca de Barberà comarca of Tarragona with a population that has rarely exceeded a few hundred. That it issued its own emergency currency at all places it among the hundreds of Catalan and Spanish municipal authorities that resorted to locally printed paper during the 1936–39 Civil War, when the Republic's small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation through hoarding and melting.

Imprenta Solé of Tarragona handled a significant volume of these Guerra Civil municipals, which accounts for the relatively competent production quality despite the issuer's size. The Turró catalog remains the definitive reference for this class of notes.
