50 Céntimos Bagà

Bagà is a small Berguedà municipality in the Catalan pre-Pyrenees, and like hundreds of similar communities during the Spanish Civil War, it issued its own fractional emergency currency when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed in 1936–37. These local emissions — known collectively as *moneda de guerra* or *paper moneda* — were authorized under a decree from the Generalitat de Catalunya that permitted municipalities to print their own small-denomination notes to keep local commerce moving.

Imprenta Jaume Molins in Berga handled printing for several Berguedà municipalities during this period, which accounts for a degree of typographic consistency across notes that were nominally distinct local issues. Bagà fell to Nationalist forces in early 1938, after which these notes became instantly worthless.
