1 Peseta La Granja d'Escarp

La Granja d'Escarp is a small municipality in the Segrià comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Aragonese towns during the Spanish Civil War, its local council issued emergency paper currency when metallic coin essentially disappeared from circulation after 1936. These municipally-issued notes — known collectively as paper moneda local or vales — were a direct response to the hoarding and melting of coinage that followed the July coup. Turró catalogued thousands of such issues, most surviving in tiny quantities.

The thick card construction is typical of issues printed locally under wartime constraint, often on whatever stock was available.
