This note was issued not by the Principality of Andorra in the Pyrenees, but by the municipality of Andorra de Ariza — or more likely Andorra la Vella's administrative namesake in Teruel province, Spain. During the early months of the Civil War, hundreds of Spanish municipalities issued their own emergency fractional paper currency when Republican-zone coinage vanished from circulation almost overnight, hoarded or melted for the war effort.
The Gari Moneo reference is unassigned, which typically signals either an unverified attribution or a note recorded only from a single known example. Survival rates for these small-town emergency issues are unpredictable.
