1 Peseta Sarral

Sarral is a small municipality in the Conca de Barberà comarca of Catalonia, and this note belongs to the extraordinary proliferation of locally issued emergency paper money — known as "moneda de necessitat" — that swept Republican-controlled Catalonia after the military coup of July 1936 disrupted the normal flow of coinage. With silver and copper hoarded or requisitioned, hundreds of municipalities printed their own small-denomination scrip to keep local commerce functional. Sarral was one of them.

The Imprenta Solé in Tarragona produced notes for multiple Catalan municipalities during this period. The stamp serves as the primary authentication device — a common solution when sophisticated security printing was neither available nor affordable under wartime conditions.
