1 Peseta L'Albiol

L'Albiol is a tiny municipality in the Camp de Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Civil War, its local council issued its own emergency paper money after the Republican government authorized ayuntamientos to fill the coin shortage created by hoarding and metal requisitions. Turró catalogues these emissions exhaustively, and the L'Albiol 1 Peseta is among the more obscure entries — the commune's population in 1937 barely exceeded a few hundred, meaning original print runs were almost certainly counted in the hundreds rather than thousands.

Survival rates for these hyper-local Catalan wartime notes are genuinely poor. Most circulated hard within a single village economy and were never redeemed in any organized way once the Nationalist forces took Tarragona province in early 1939.
