| Comments |
Altorricón is a small municipality in the Huesca province of Aragon, and like hundreds of other Republican-held villages during the Civil War, its local organizations — here a joint UGT-CNT agricultural cooperative — issued their own fractional emergency currency when coin supplies collapsed after July 1936. These pieces circulated exclusively within the issuing community; a note from Altorricón was functionally worthless two villages over.
The Gari Montaner reference is unassigned, which usually means the cataloger encountered insufficient data to fix a firm number — not that the piece is unknown. Aragon produced an enormous volume of these local issues, and documentation remains patchy.
