50 Céntimos Viladecavalls

Viladecavalls is a small municipality in the Vallès Occidental comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of other Spanish towns it resorted to issuing its own fractional emergency currency during 1936–37 after the Civil War disrupted the national coin supply almost entirely. The Republican government's inability to maintain small-denomination metallic circulation forced municipalities, trade unions, and cooperatives across the loyalist zone to paper over the gap themselves — legally dubious but practically unavoidable.

Turró catalogs this emission under a single reference, suggesting the municipality produced a limited and uncomplicated series. The thick card stock was a deliberate choice at many small issuers: thinner paper wore out too quickly for notes handling daily market transactions.
