| Comments |
During the Spanish Civil War, dozens of Republican municipalities and collectives issued their own emergency scrip when coined money vanished from circulation almost overnight. This note was produced by the Colectividad de Andorra — not the Pyrenean principality, but the small town of Andorra in Teruel province, Aragon. The "Enteros" denomination was a localism used by several Aragonese collectives, roughly equivalent to pesetas for internal trade within the issuing community.
Teruel province saw some of the war's most brutal fighting; the Battle of Teruel in the winter of 1937–38 effectively ended Republican control of the region, and most of this scrip was rendered worthless within two years of issue.
