50 Céntimos Puigcerdà

Puigcerdà is a Catalan enclave town sitting inside a loop of French territory on the Cerdanya plateau — geographically isolated enough that during the Civil War its municipal government issued its own emergency fractional currency when small change effectively disappeared from circulation. Hundreds of Spanish municipalities did the same between 1936 and 1938, but Puigcerdà's position near the French border gave it an unusual economic character, with cross-border movement of people and goods complicating any local scrip's practical utility.

El Secretariat Català printed emergency notes for numerous Republican-controlled municipalities during this period, making Turró's catalog the essential reference for untangling which town issued what.
