1 Peseta Carme

Carme is a small municipality in the Anoia comarca of Catalonia. This note is one of thousands of locally issued emergency scrip pieces produced by Catalan and Spanish municipalities during 1936–1937, when the Civil War disrupted the national money supply so severely that small change effectively vanished from circulation. Towns issued their own paper or cardboard substitutes out of practical necessity, not monetary ambition.

The municipal stamp served as the sole authentication — no serial numbers, no complex security printing. Turró's catalog documents the sheer scale of this phenomenon; Carme's entry is one of the more obscure, from a village whose wartime population numbered in the hundreds.
