1 Peseta Rubí

One of hundreds of municipal emergency notes issued across Catalonia during the Civil War, when the Republican government's inability to maintain small-denomination coinage in circulation forced town councils to print their own. Rubí, a small industrial town in the Vallès Occidental, issued this through Litografia Lafont i Miralles — a Barcelona commercial printer that handled similar commissions for multiple municipalities during 1937, which explains certain shared design conventions across notes of this period.

Turró's catalog remains the essential reference for these Catalan municipals, and the 2227 placement puts this squarely in the middle of a well-documented but often physically fragile series. Lithographic paper stocks used by Lafont i Miralles are known to toned unevenly.
