50 Céntimos Tossa

One of thousands of locally issued emergency notes — "moneda local" or "bitllets locals" — that proliferated across Republican-held Catalonia after July 1936, when the banking system collapsed and small coin essentially vanished from circulation. The Generalitat eventually tried to regulate the chaos, but municipalities had already gone ahead independently, and many, like Tossa de Mar, contracted whatever printer was geographically accessible. Imprenta Vilallonga in Cassà de la Selva served several nearby towns during this period.

Turró catalogued over 2,500 reference numbers for Catalan civil war local issues. The fact that this one has its own entry is unremarkable — the number itself tells you how saturated the field is.
