Altorricón is a small agricultural village in the Huesca province of Aragon, and this fractional note was issued by its peasant collective during the Spanish Civil War — part of the extraordinary grassroots monetary improvisation that swept Republican-held territory after the July 1936 uprising paralyzed conventional banking. The CNT-affiliated collectives frequently issued their own scrip in denominations that had no equivalent in the official currency system, and 0.15 pesetas is among the more unusual fractional values encountered in this series.
Gari Mon #159-E suggests a variant classification within the Altorricón issues, though the total emission figures for this collective remain undocumented.
