Comments

Local Spanish Civil War banknotes: Created by municipalities, cooperatives, unions and other organizations due to the scarcity of fiduciary currency in small purchases and exchanges during the Spanish Civil War.

Municipality: Alforja - Province: Tarragona - Autonomous community: Catalonia

NOTE:: Two issues of 1 Peseta and 50 Centimos banknotes were made. In all of them the design remained unchanged, with the only difference in the framed initial letter "L".

1st ISSUE 1 Peseta, Turró#104, framed initial letter "L" straight style. (Image of this page)

2nd ISSUE 1 Peseta, Turró#105, framed initial letter "L" gothic style. (Image below from Aureo & Calicó)
