| Comments |
Altorricón is a small agricultural village in the Huesca province of Aragon, and this 0.10 pesetas note was issued by its Colectividad Campesina — a peasant collective — during the Spanish Civil War, when hundreds of anarchist and socialist collectives across Republican territory printed their own emergency scrip to keep local economies functioning after the banking system collapsed and metallic coin disappeared from circulation almost entirely.
The Gari Mon reference places it within the broader Aragonese series, but Altorricón's output was limited by the size of the community itself. Very few of these village-level emissions survived the Francoist repression that followed.
