50 Céntimos Pont de Suert

Pont de Suert is a small municipality in the Alta Ribagorça comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Spanish towns it issued its own fractional paper currency during the Civil War under Republican authority. The Comisión Gestora — essentially the municipal governing committee — produced these locally because the acute shortage of coin made everyday commerce nearly impossible. Denominations like this 50 céntimos piece filled the gap left by hoarded metal.

Turró catalogues these Catalan municipal emissions exhaustively, and the Pont de Suert issues are among the more obscure entries — the town's small population means surviving quantities are genuinely limited.
