1 Peseta Passanant

One of thousands of emergency local issues produced during the Spanish Civil War, when the collapse of normal monetary supply forced Catalan municipalities to print their own fractional currency. Passanant is a tiny village in the comarca of Conca de Barberà, Tarragona — its wartime population was well under a thousand. The practical circulation of this note would have been almost entirely local and almost entirely brief.

Turró catalogued over 2,000 distinct Spanish Civil War municipal issues; that Passanant's single known type received its own number speaks to how systematically these scraps were eventually documented, decades after most were discarded.
