1 Peseta Roses

Roses is a small coastal municipality in the Alt Empordà comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War years, it issued its own emergency fractional paper currency when the Republic's supply of small coin collapsed entirely. These municipally-issued notes — guerra civil paper, broadly — were an ad hoc solution, often printed locally with whatever equipment was available, and the Consell Municipal de Roses was no exception to that improvised pattern.

Turró catalogs this as #2212, placing it within a well-documented but enormous body of Catalan municipal emissions. Survival rates for these small-denomination wartime issues vary wildly by town; Roses examples turn up occasionally but are not among the frequently encountered pieces.
