50 Céntims Planes del Montsià

Planes del Montsià is a small municipality in the Tarragona province, and like hundreds of Catalan and Valencian towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper currency in 1937 to address the near-total disappearance of metal coinage — hoarded, melted, or simply gone. The Republican government had authorized local councils to fill the gap, which produced an extraordinary proliferation of hyper-local emergency notes, many from villages with populations in the low hundreds.

Turró catalogues this as #1873, placing it within the well-documented but often physically elusive corpus of Catalan municipal issues. Surviving examples from such minor councils are genuinely uncommon.
