50 Céntimos Tortellà

Tortellà is a small municipality in the Garrotxa comarca of Girona, and like hundreds of Catalan villages during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper money after the collapse of normal coin circulation in 1936–37. The Republican government's inability to maintain small-denomination metallic currency in circulation forced local councils — many of them newly radicalized — to paper over the gap with hand-stamped or simply printed scrip.

Turró catalogs this 50 céntimos among thousands of similar local emissions, but Tortellà's output is genuinely scarce given the village's size. Most were redeemed or discarded as Nationalist forces consolidated control over the region by early 1939.
