Alcorisa is a small municipality in Teruel province, Aragon — one of hundreds of localities that printed their own emergency scrip during the early months of the Spanish Civil War, when the Republic's central banking system had effectively collapsed and coin disappeared from circulation almost overnight. Izquierda Republicana, the left-republican party founded by Manuel Azaña, served here not as a national authority but as a local issuing body filling a vacuum.
The Gari Monovar catalog remains the primary reference for this class of Spanish Civil War local issues, and Alcorisa's series is among the more obscure provincial emissions — Teruel province saw particularly chaotic monetary conditions given its proximity to the front lines in 1936–37.
