50 Céntimos Llardecans

Llardecans is a small municipality in the Segrià comarca of Lleida, and like dozens of similarly small Catalan towns during the Civil War, its ajuntament issued emergency fractional currency after the Republican government's decree of late 1936 effectively authorized local bodies to fill the coin vacuum caused by silver hoarding and metal requisitioning. Turró catalogs these municipal emissions extensively — over a thousand types — and Llardecans sits toward the quieter end of that spectrum in terms of surviving population and institutional records.

Imprenta Sol in Lleida handled printing for several of these small municipal issues in the region. Production runs were typically modest, local redemption was often incomplete, and attrition has been severe.
