1 Peseta Viladecans; Cooperativa Obrera La Igualtat

During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone experienced a near-total breakdown of small-denomination coinage — hoarded, melted, or simply absent. Hundreds of local entities across Catalonia responded by issuing their own emergency paper, and Viladecans was no exception. La Igualtat ("Equality") was a workers' cooperative, and its decision to back local scrip reflected both practical necessity and the collectivist structures that briefly governed much of Republican Catalonia in 1936–38.

Alvaro Calicó's *Billetes Locales* catalogues this emission under AL#743. Survival rates for Viladecans municipal and cooperative issues are generally poor — small runs, heavy local circulation, and wartime disruption saw most examples destroyed or lost before 1939.
