| Comments |
Altorricón is a small agricultural village in the Huesca province of Aragon — precisely the region where anarcho-syndicalist collectivization ran deepest during the Spanish Civil War. Notes issued jointly under UGT and CNT letterhead are uncommon; the two unions were frequently rivals, and their cooperation in a single issuing body reflects the particular political pressure of wartime collectivization rather than ideological harmony. Local scrip of this type circulated within the collective's own economy, accepted for goods and labor credits but meaningless outside the village.
The Gari reference number is unassigned, suggesting this piece remains incompletely catalogued — possibly a unique or near-unique survivor from a print run that was almost entirely consumed or destroyed when Franco's forces absorbed the region in 1938.
