50 Céntimos Sallent

Sallent is a small industrial town in the Bages comarca, its economy historically tied to the potash mines that made it one of the more economically significant municipalities in inland Catalonia. During the Civil War, the Republican government's decree of May 1937 formalized the already-chaotic reality of local emergency currency — hundreds of Catalan municipalities had been issuing their own paper since 1936 to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metallic coinage from circulation.

Viladot in Barcelona handled a substantial portion of these municipal commissions, which accounts for the consistent production quality across otherwise politically and geographically unrelated towns. The Turró catalogue remains the essential reference for untangling this proliferation.
