1 Peseta Poal

Poal is a small municipality in the Pla d'Urgell comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similarly minor Spanish towns, it issued its own emergency paper money during the Civil War after the Republic's coinage disappeared from circulation in 1936–37. The Ajuntament de Poal's 1 Peseta note, catalogued under Turró 1881, belongs to this vast and largely unstudied wave of local wartime scrip — thousands of distinct issues printed under wildly varying conditions, with no central oversight and no standardized printing arrangements.

Many of these Catalan municipal issues survive only in tiny quantities, not because of deliberate collecting but because small towns simply printed small runs.
