1 Peseta Menàrguens

Menàrguens is a small municipality in the Noguera comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of other Catalan towns it resorted to locally produced emergency fractional currency in 1936 after the outbreak of the Civil War caused a near-total disappearance of Republican coinage from circulation. The Generalitat de Catalunya formally authorized these municipal emissions, but production was entirely local — in Menàrguens' case, on thick card stock that was almost certainly cut and printed by hand or on a basic press within the town itself.

The Turró reference numbers 1494–1495 suggest two distinct types or color variants within the same emission, a common feature of rural Catalan issues where print runs were small and consistency was not guaranteed.
