The Colectividad de Andorra referenced here is not the Pyrenean principality but the small Aragonese municipality of Andorra de l'Ebre — the "Teruel" designation in the issuer name is the provincial disambiguation. During the early months of the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone saw a near-total collapse of small-denomination coinage in circulation, prompting hundreds of municipalities, collectives, and trade unions to issue their own emergency paper. This is one of those.
Gari Montllor's catalog documents the Aragonese issues with unusual precision; the 167-A suffix indicates a specific variant within the Andorra de l'Ebre sequence, likely distinguished by a printing or paper detail. These local Civil War issues were produced under improvised conditions and almost never formally redeemed.
