Ogassa is a small coal-mining municipality in the comarca of Ripollès, Girona, and this 1 Peseta note is one of the hundreds of emergency paper emissions — known collectively as moneda de paper — issued by Catalan town councils during the early months of the Civil War, when metallic coin essentially vanished from circulation. The Republican government tolerated these local issues out of necessity, not policy.
Printing by the Cooperativa d'Arts Gràfiques in nearby Ripoll was a practical choice; several surrounding municipalities used the same press, which accounts for the family resemblance across a number of Ripollès-area wartime notes catalogued by Turró.
