50 Céntimos Les Planes d'Hostoles

Les Planes d'Hostoles is a small municipality in the Garrotxa comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of other Catalan and Spanish Republican towns it issued its own fractional paper money during the Civil War after the collapse of small-change supply in 1936–37. These locally printed emergency notes — generally called "moneda local" or "bitllets de necessitat" — were authorized under the Generalitat de Catalunya's decree of September 1936, which gave municipalities the right to issue fractional currency up to 2.50 pesetas per head of population.

Turró's catalog remains the primary reference for these issues; #1870 places this note within a well-documented but thinly surviving group from a commune whose total wartime population was well under a thousand.
