1 Peseta Viladrau

Viladrau is a small municipality in the Montseny massif, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish Republican towns during the Civil War, it issued its own local emergency currency when the banking system fractured and small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation. These ajuntament notes — produced by the thousands across Republican-held territory from 1936 onward — were technically illegal under central government statutes but tolerated out of sheer necessity.

El Secretariat Català handled printing for numerous municipal issues during this period, which gives the production quality more consistency than many comparable wartime locals. Turró catalogues this as #2777, placing it within a well-documented but still incompletely surveyed series.
