Alcorisa is a small municipality in Teruel province, Aragon — one of hundreds of Republican-held towns that issued their own emergency fractional currency during the Spanish Civil War after the 1936 military uprising severed normal coin supply chains. These local emissions were organized under wildly varying authority: municipal councils, anarchist collectives, trade unions, and in this case, Izquierda Republicana, the centrist Republican party founded by Manuel Azaña. The party's direct role as issuer — rather than the ayuntamiento itself — is the distinguishing feature of the Alcorisa series.
Teruel changed hands violently in 1937–38, and many of these notes were rendered worthless or simply abandoned when Nationalist forces took the region. Survival rates for small-denomination Aragonese war issues are low, and the Gari catalog remains the primary reference for this material.
