1 Peseta Botarell

Botarell is a small municipality in the Camp de Tarragona comarca with a population that barely exceeded a few hundred during the 1930s. Like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Spanish Civil War, its ajuntament issued its own emergency fractional currency — paper money the central Republican government technically discouraged but practically tolerated because the coinage shortage was catastrophic. These hyper-local emissions are catalogued by Turró precisely because no central registry kept track of them systematically.

Survival rates for Botarell issues are poor. Small-run municipal notes from villages this size were printed in tiny quantities, used hard, and rarely preserved.
