1 Peseta Ultramort

Ultramort is a hamlet in the Alt Empordà comarca of Girona with a population that has rarely exceeded a few dozen — one of the smallest municipalities to issue its own emergency paper money during the Spanish Civil War. The note belongs to the vast system of locally printed moneda de paper that flooded Catalonia from 1936 onward, when the collapse of metallic coin circulation forced even the most remote councils to improvise their own currency.

Imprenta Llach in Girona printed for numerous small Catalan municipalities during this period, which means design quality and paper stock vary considerably across the run. The official stamp is the primary authentication device — without it, the note had no standing.
