1 Peseta Súria

Súria is a small mining town in Catalonia — potash extraction, not much else — and like hundreds of Catalan municipalities during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper currency when the Republican zone ran desperately short of small-denomination coinage. The Consell Municipal authorized these notes under the broader framework of wartime local scrip that proliferated across the region from 1936 onward.

Imprenta Avant was a Barcelona print shop with clear political affiliations; "Avant" is Catalan for "Forward," and the firm produced material for several left-leaning municipal governments during the war years. Turró catalogs this issue as 2416, placing it firmly within the vast documentation of Catalan Civil War notgeld.
