1 Peseta Sanahuja

Sanaüja is a small Catalan municipality in the Segarra comarca with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred in the 1930s. During the early months of the Civil War, the collapse of metallic coin circulation — caused partly by hoarding and partly by the Republican government's inability to maintain supply to rural areas — forced hundreds of Catalan municipalities to print their own fractional currency under emergency authorization. Sanaüja was among the smallest communities to do so.

The official stamp serves as the sole security device, a common workaround when access to engravers or specialized printing equipment was simply not available. Turró catalogues over 2,000 such local emissions from Catalonia alone for this period.
