Barbens is a small municipality in the Pla d'Urgell comarca of Catalonia, with a population that barely reached a few hundred during the 1930s. Like hundreds of similarly tiny Catalan and Spanish municipalities, it issued its own emergency paper fractional currency during the Civil War years when Republican-zone coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply gone.
Imprenta Popular in nearby Bellpuig produced notes for several surrounding municipalities, which accounts for the family resemblance collectors often notice across different Turró-catalogued local issues from this part of Lleida province. The 50 céntimos denomination was among the most-needed in daily transactions, and survival rates for these tiny municipally-issued pieces are low — they were used hard and discarded once the crisis passed.
