Alcorisa is a small municipality in the Bajo Aragón district of Teruel province, and this 25 céntimos note is one of hundreds of hyperlocal emergency issues that flooded Spain during the Civil War after the Republic's decree of June 1937 effectively authorized municipal and collective bodies to print their own fractional currency. The chronic shortage of small coin — partly caused by hoarding, partly by the collapse of normal supply chains — made these emisiones locales a practical necessity rather than a political statement.
The Alianza Republicana designation marks this as a Popular Front-aligned issuer. Survival rates for Aragonese municipal paper are erratic; many towns were cut off, changed hands, or saw their local records destroyed entirely.
