| Obverse description | Letterpress-printed emergency issue in blue-violet ink, enclosed within a double-rule rectangular border. A central vignette depicts three workers engaged in digging with shovels, rendered in a simple illustrative style typical of Civil War-era Spanish local emissions. The denomination and issuing authority are set in bold typeset lettering above and below the vignette. |

| Reverse description | The reverse shows a plain, uninked paper surface on which a mirror impression of the obverse design is faintly visible as a set-off transfer, a common artifact of letterpress printing on thin emergency-issue stock. No intentional design, text, or security features are present. |

| Comments |
One of dozens of small-denomination emergency issues produced by Spanish Republican municipalities and collectives during the Civil War, this note was authorized by the village of Andorra in Teruel province — not the Pyrenean co-principality. The confusion in cataloging is persistent and worth flagging to buyers unfamiliar with the series.
The Colectividad designation reflects the anarcho-syndicalist collective governance structure that took hold across Aragon in the summer of 1936 following the Republican mobilization. These local scrip issues filled a real void: metallic coin had been hoarded or melted almost immediately after the July uprising disrupted normal commerce.
Gari Montllor's catalog remains the authoritative reference for Aragonese Civil War issues, and the -B suffix here denotes a variant within the type — likely a color or paper stock difference from the primary listing.
