50 Céntimos Salomó

Salomó is a tiny municipality in the Camp de Tarragona comarca with a population that barely reached a few hundred during the 1930s. Like hundreds of other Catalan villages during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional emergency currency — cartró moneda or paper equivalents — when Republican-zone coin shortages made small change functionally impossible. The Ajuntament turned to Imprenta Solé in Tarragona, a local commercial printer with no specialized security printing capability, which is why authentication here depended entirely on hand-applied official stamps and signatures rather than any printed security feature.

Turró documents these village issues systematically, but survivorship is poor — most were redeemed locally or simply discarded once the war ended.
