Vallmoll is a small municipality in the Camp de Tarragona comarca, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, its local council issued emergency fractional currency when coins vanished from circulation entirely. These municipal notes — collectively known as moneda local or bitllets locals — filled the vacuum left by hoarding and metallic currency flight after July 1936. The Turró catalogue documents over two thousand such issues; Vallmoll's 1 Peseta is among the more obscure, reflecting a town with a population that barely reached a few hundred.
At these dimensions, the note is closer to a tram ticket than a banknote.
