50 Céntimos Sasserra de Bages

Sasserra is a municipality of fewer than 200 inhabitants in the comarca of Bages, making this one of the smallest issuing authorities in the entire Spanish Civil War emergency coinage program. The Generalitat de Catalunya authorized Catalan municipalities to issue their own small-change notes — *moneda local* — from 1936 onward to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metallic coin from circulation, hoarded or melted almost immediately after the July uprising.

Notes from villages this small were issued in tiny quantities and circulated within a radius of a few kilometers at most. Survivors are genuinely scarce — not because they were well-preserved, but because so few were printed in the first place.
