50 Céntimos Guardiola de Berga

Guardiola de Berga is a small municipality in the Berguedà comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similar towns during the Spanish Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when the Republic's coinage disappeared from circulation almost entirely — hoarded, melted, or simply stopped being produced. The Consell Municipal handled the commission locally, contracting Imprenta Barral in the nearby village of La Pobla de Lillet rather than sending the work to Barcelona.

The sole security measure was an official municipal stamp applied by hand, which varied in placement and ink saturation across the issue. Turró catalogues these Catalan municipal emissions exhaustively; #1207 is among the more obscure entries, reflecting just how granular the wartime currency fragmentation became.
