1 Peseta Pallejà

Pallejà is a small municipality in the Baix Llobregat comarca south of Barcelona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper money in 1937 when Republican-zone coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absent. The Generalitat de Catalunya had authorized local authorities to fill the gap, producing a chaotic but historically fascinating patchwork of municipal emissions.

C.A.M. in Barcelona handled production for numerous such councils, which accounts for the family resemblance across many Catalan municipal notes of this period. Turró's cataloguing work remains the essential reference for untangling which emissions are genuine and which were printed speculatively after the war ended.
