50 Céntimos Albagés

L'Albagès is a small municipality in Les Garrigues, Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns it resorted to locally printed emergency fractional currency during the Civil War after the Republican government's coin shortage of 1936–37 stripped ordinary commerce of small change. These municipal vales — issued by the ajuntament rather than any banking authority — were purely functional stopgaps, redeemable in theory but often stranded when issuing municipalities were overrun or simply ceased to function.

The handwritten signature and applied stamp were the only authentication mechanisms, which made forgery trivial and redemption disputes common. Turró catalogues this piece under #54, placing it within a well-documented but still incompletely surveyed body of Catalan local issues.
