50 Céntimos Castellbell i el Vilar

Castellbell i el Vilar is a small municipality in the Bages comarca, and like hundreds of Catalan towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper currency when Republican-zone coinage effectively disappeared from circulation after 1936. The Generalitat had encouraged — then attempted to regulate — this explosion of local paper, but many ajuntaments simply printed what they needed. Turró catalogs well over a thousand such issues.

Martí, Marí y Cía. in Barcelona printed for numerous municipalities simultaneously, which makes their work among the most historically dense of any small commercial printer operating during the conflict.
