50 Céntimos Torrelles de Foix

Torrelles de Foix is a small municipality in the Alt Penedès comarca, and like hundreds of Catalan and Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional emergency currency when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed in 1936–37. The Generalitat de Catalunya formally authorized local councils to print such notes, which is why so many carry similar denominations and share the same Barcelona printers — El Secretariat Català handled a considerable volume of this municipal work.

Turró catalogues over 2,500 of these local issues. That number alone suggests how thin individual print runs often were, and Torrelles de Foix was a village, not a market town.
