1 Peseta Ribes de Freser

Ribes de Freser is a small Pyrenean town in Girona province, and like hundreds of Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, its ajuntament issued its own fractional currency when the Republic's small change effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply lost in the disruption of 1936. These local emissions, collectively catalogued under the broader *bitllets municipals* phenomenon, were authorized by the Generalitat de Catalunya in June 1937, giving retrospective legal cover to issues that many towns had already been printing for months.

Turró 2108 places this among the later-documented emissions from the comarca of Ripollès. Production quality across this series varies sharply; Ribes de Freser's notes are among the more modestly produced, consistent with a small municipality working with limited local printing resources.
