1 Peseta Riudaura

Riudaura is a tiny municipality in the Garrotxa comarca of Girona province — population in the hundreds — which issued its own emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War under the Republican government's 1937 decree permitting local authorities to print small-denomination currency to address the catastrophic coin shortage. These hyper-local emissions, collectively catalogued under the "Guerra Civil" series, were produced by hundreds of Catalan towns, many with no printing infrastructure whatsoever, resulting in notes of wildly varying quality. Riudaura's example on thick card stock is characteristic of the improvised municipal issues from the region.
