The Colectividad de Andorra was one of dozens of Republican collectives in Aragon that issued their own local paper money during the Spanish Civil War after the collapse of normal banking and the near-total disappearance of coin from circulation. These emergency emissions were purely internal instruments — valid only within the issuing community and backed by nothing more than the collective's authority over local commerce. Andorra de Teruel (not to be confused with the Pyrenean principality) was a small agricultural municipality, and its notes circulated in an economy that had been forcibly reorganized along anarcho-syndicalist lines under CNT influence.
The Gari Montserrat reference corpus documents multiple varieties for this collective; the -C suffix indicates a specific printing or paper variant within that emission.
