50 Céntimos Mas de Barberans

Mas de Barberans is a small municipality in the Montsià comarca of Tarragona, and like hundreds of Catalan and Valencian towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when the Republic's small change effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply gone. These local wartime issues, catalogued collectively under the Spanish term moneda local, were authorised under the Generalitat de Catalunya's June 1937 decree giving municipal councils the right to issue notes up to 1 peseta.

Turró 1455 is among the more obscure municipal issues from this period, from a village that today has fewer than 400 inhabitants.
