1 Peseta Vila-rodona

Vila-rodona is a small municipality in the Alt Camp comarca of Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, its ajuntament issued emergency fractional currency in 1937 to address the chronic shortage of small-denomination coin that followed the Republic's monetary disruption. These locally sanctioned issues were technically permitted under a 1936 Generalitat de Catalunya decree, though enforcement of standards was loose and the notes varied wildly in quality from town to town.

Imprenta E. Castells in Valls — the comarca capital, roughly 8 km away — printed several of these municipal issues for surrounding villages, which accounts for the relatively consistent production quality compared to notes run off on village presses. Turró catalogues over 3,000 such issues; this one sits toward the higher end of that count.
