1 Peseta Mataró

Mataró's wartime municipal notes were produced under one of the more unusual arrangements of the Spanish Civil War economy: Indústries Madriguera had been collectivized under anarcho-syndicalist control by 1937, meaning this note was printed by a worker-managed enterprise operating outside the conventional wage system. The Catalan regional government had authorized municipalities to issue emergency currency to address the collapse of small-denomination coinage, but the actual production chain ran through collectivized workshops answering to union committees rather than to any single employer.

Turró documents this as a single-denomination issue. Mataró, a textile and industrial town north of Barcelona, had the economic infrastructure to sustain such arrangements longer than many smaller municipalities.
