Jalance is a village in Valencia province with a population that barely reached a thousand during the Civil War years. Like dozens of similarly small Republican municipalities, it issued its own emergency scrip in 1937 when small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply unavailable. The Consejo Municipal had no access to professional printing facilities, which is why these local emergency issues vary so dramatically in execution from town to town.
The Turró and Gari catalogues between them document hundreds of these Valencian municipal issues, and Jalance's 1 Peseta is among the more obscure entries — not rare in the sense of a scarce printing, but rarely encountered because survival rates for thick card-stock scrip from villages this small tend to be low.
