50 Céntimos Vilaller

Vilaller is a small municipality in the Ribagorça district of Lleida, and like hundreds of Catalan and Aragonese towns during the Civil War, it issued its own fractional paper currency after the Republican government's 1936 decree authorizing local emergency money to address the near-total disappearance of metallic coin from circulation. These municipal issues were produced in enormous variety and almost universally tiny quantities — Vilaller had a population of only a few hundred at the time.

Imprenta Tremp, the local press in the nearby comarca capital, handled production for several surrounding municipalities, which accounts for the shared aesthetic found across Turró-catalogued issues from this corner of the Pyrenees.
