1 Peseta Puig-Alt de Ter

Puig-Alt de Ter is a small municipality in the comarca of Ripollès, Girona. During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone experienced a catastrophic collapse in small-denomination coinage circulation — hoarding and metal requisitions left everyday commerce nearly impossible — and hundreds of Catalan municipalities responded by printing their own fractional paper currency under authorization from the Generalitat de Catalunya. This note is one of those emergency emissions, hyper-local in scope and almost certainly printed in tiny quantities for a population that numbered only in the hundreds.

The Cooperativa d'Arts Gràfiques in nearby Ripoll served as the practical printing hub for several small-town issues across the comarca, which accounts for the visual and material similarities found across the Turró series from this region.
