1 Peseta Roques d'Osona

Roques d'Osona is a small municipality in the comarca of Osona, Catalonia, and this note is one of hundreds of hyper-local emergency issues that flooded the region after the Republican government's 1937 decree authorizing municipal councils to produce their own fractional currency to address a severe coin shortage. The Imprenta Balmesiana in nearby Vic — a Catholic press with roots in the nineteenth century — printed for several of these councils simultaneously, which accounts for the shared production quality across different Osona-area issuers.

Turró catalogues this as #2196, placing it well within the dense Catalan municipal sequence. The note's survival rate is low simply because these issues were purely functional, printed in small quantities, and largely discarded once the wartime shortage eased.
