1 Peseta Poliñá

Poliñá is a small municipality north of Barcelona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Valencian towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional currency in 1937 when Republican Spain faced an acute shortage of small change — silver and copper coins had been hoarded or melted almost immediately after July 1936. These municipal emissions were authorized under a broader Generalitat framework but designed and printed locally, which accounts for the enormous variation in quality and format across the series.

The Gari Mon catalogue reference places this firmly within the documented Catalan municipal issues, though surviving examples of the smaller village emissions are genuinely difficult to locate in any grade.
