1 Peseta Fornells de la Selva

Fornells de la Selva is a small municipality in the comarca of Gironès, and like dozens of Catalan towns during the Civil War, its municipal council issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metal coinage from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply not replaced by the Republic. The Consell Municipal had no banking infrastructure behind these notes; they were obligations redeemable locally and largely useless outside the town.

Gràfiques Darío Rahola operated out of Girona and handled print runs for several small municipalities in the province, which gives surviving examples from different issuers an occasionally similar typographic character. Turró catalogues this as #1047.
