| Beschrijving voorzijde | This note is a wartime overprint on the original 1 Pesseta issue of March 1937 from the Consell Municipal de Figueres. The central vignette presents a helmeted soldier alongside a worker, a composition evoking the Republican alliance of military and civilian labour during the Spanish Civil War. Red letterpress overprinting superimposed on the face of the original note introduces the revised denomination and the authorisation text of the Government Commission session dated 31 May 1937. |

Figueres issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Civil War because the Republican government's chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage left municipalities with little choice. The Consell Municipal series was a local fix to a national problem — workers needed change, and Madrid couldn't supply it.
The printer, Indústries Madriguera Col·lectivitzada, is itself a detail worth noting: the Barcelona firm had been collectivized under anarcho-syndicalist management by 1937, one of hundreds of businesses brought under worker control in Catalonia following the July 1936 uprising. A municipal note printed by a collectivized press is a fairly compressed piece of that moment.
