50 Céntimos Beget

Beget is one of the smallest villages in the Garrotxa region of Catalonia — at the time of issue its population numbered in the dozens. That a settlement this size was issuing its own paper currency at all reflects the near-total collapse of small-denomination coinage across Republican-held Spain in 1937, a shortage so severe that hundreds of Catalan municipalities, many of them tiny, were authorized under the Generalitat's emergency framework to print their own local scrip. These notes were theoretically valid only within the issuing municipality, which in Beget's case meant a handful of streets.

Imprenta Anglada in nearby Camprodon handled the printing for several surrounding villages, which accounts for the typographic consistency visible across multiple Turró-catalogued pieces from the area.
