50 Céntimos Roda de Ter

One of hundreds of emergency municipal issues produced during the Spanish Civil War, when the collapse of small-denomination coinage in Republican-held territory forced town councils across Catalonia to print their own fractional currency. The Ajuntament de Roda de Ter — a small textile-industry town on the Ter river north of Vic — issued these notes under the same legal framework that authorized most Catalan municipal paper of 1937.

Printed by C.A.M. in Barcelona, the same house behind a significant share of the Catalan municipal series, which makes individual attribution straightforward but does little to distinguish this note from its dozens of typographical siblings.
