50 Céntimos Vila-sana

Vila-sana is a tiny municipality in the Pla d'Urgell comarca of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Valencian towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper currency when the Republic's central supply of small coin collapsed entirely in 1936–37. The Generalitat could not keep pace with demand, and local ayuntamientos stepped in by legal necessity rather than monetary ambition.

Turró documents these emergency municipals exhaustively, and #2878 is among the more obscure entries — Vila-sana's population at the time was well under a thousand, meaning total print runs were almost certainly in the hundreds rather than thousands. Survivors are genuinely rare simply because so few were made.
