1 Peseta Monjos del Penedès

Monjos del Penedès is a small municipality in the Alt Penedès comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of other Catalan towns it resorted to locally printed emergency paper during the Spanish Civil War when Republican authorities faced an acute shortage of small-denomination coinage from 1936 onward. These municipal emergency notes — generally called "moneda local" or "bitllets locals" — were authorised under a framework established by the Generalitat de Catalunya, though production quality and design varied enormously from one town council to the next.

Turró's catalogue documents over 1,700 issuing entities across Catalonia; Monjos del Penedès sits firmly in the minor tier, with limited print runs and very low survival rates simply due to the small population base the notes served.
