| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central design is dominated by a large numeral '1' set within a diamond-shaped lozenge surrounded by a crosshatched guilloche underprint, itself enclosed in a circular frame; an acanthus-scroll border with symmetrical rocaille ornaments fills the four corners. The word PESSETA appears in a cartouche below the central lozenge, and the issuer's name is distributed horizontally across the note flanking the central motif. The printer's imprint 'ARS GRÀFIQUES - BENAIGES - SADURNÍ D'ANOIA' is printed in small type along the lower margin. |

Riudebitlles is a village in the Alt Penedès comarca with a population that, in 1937, numbered only a few hundred people. The Republican government's inability to maintain adequate small-denomination coinage supply during the Civil War forced hundreds of Catalan municipalities — including ones this small — to print their own emergency fractional currency, known collectively as moneda local or paper moneda. The Ajuntament here turned to Arts Gràfiques Benaiges, operating as a collectivized print shop under workers' control in nearby Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, itself the center of Catalonia's cava industry and a firmly Republican stronghold.
Turró catalogues over 2,400 distinct Catalan municipal emissions from this period; the sheer volume means surviving examples of minor village issues like this one are harder to find than their low face value might suggest — small communities printed small runs, and few were preserved rather than spent.
