50 Céntimos Pineda de Segarra

Pineda de Segarra is a small municipality in the Anoia comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of comparable villages during the Spanish Civil War, it issued its own emergency fractional currency when Republican-zone coinage effectively disappeared from circulation in 1936–37. The Generalitat de Catalunya had authorized municipal issues precisely because the hoarding and melting of copper and silver coins had created a near-total shortage of small change.

Grafos, operating under collective management after its workers seized the Barcelona printing house in 1936, handled a substantial proportion of these local Catalan issues. Turró catalogs this note as #1828 — a reference that places it among the more obscure single-issue village pieces from the series.
