50 Céntimos El Catllar

El Catllar is a small municipality in the Camp de Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional emergency currency when Republican-zone coinage effectively disappeared from circulation after 1936. The Consell de la Generalitat had authorized local issues, but standardization was minimal — each ajuntament produced what it could, which is why so many of these pieces look more like hastily produced receipts than banknotes.

Nicasi Randé's signature as the authorizing official is the primary authentication element alongside the rubber stamp, both applied by hand. At this size and weight — closer to a stiff card than banknote paper — survival rates are poor.
