1 Peseta Maella

Maella is a small municipality in Aragon, and this note is a product of the anarchist-influenced Republican zone during the Civil War. When the Franco uprising disrupted normal commerce in 1936–37, hundreds of Spanish municipalities — particularly in Catalonia and Aragon — resorted to issuing their own emergency fractional currency as coinage vanished from circulation almost overnight. The Consejo Municipal, in many cases effectively controlled by CNT-FAI committees, became the de facto monetary authority at the local level.

Gari's cataloguing of these guerra civil municipales runs to thousands of entries; the -B suffix here indicates a distinct variety, likely a second emission or a paper or color variant from the primary issue.
