1 Peseta Torrelles de Foix

Torrelles de Foix is a small municipality in the Alt Penedès comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of other Catalan and Spanish towns in the summer of 1936, it issued its own emergency fractional currency within weeks of the military uprising. The Republican government had lost effective control of coin supply, and local councils — many now run by anarchist or left-Republican committees — filled the gap themselves. The Generalitat eventually tried to regularize this chaos, but for months these ajuntament-issued pieces circulated on pure local trust.

At Turró 2551, this note sits toward the tail end of the documented series for Torrelles de Foix, suggesting it may have been a supplementary issue rather than the town's first attempt at self-issued currency.
