Beschrijving voorzijde Primitive wartime emergency issue executed on plain ruled ledger paper, with typewritten text in red ink constituting the entire face design. A double circular dry-stamp seal in red ink, inscribed with the legend of the Consell General de les Valls d'Andorra - Proveïments, is applied to the note, accompanied by a manuscript signature in blue ink. The word 'Provisional' is struck in violet across the face, underlining the ad hoc nature of this wartime voucher.

Opmerkingen

Andorra had no formal banking system and no currency of its own when the Spanish Civil War severed normal commercial links with both France and Spain in 1936–37. The Consell General — the principality's parliamentary body, not a central bank — stepped in to issue emergency fractional currency because coins had vanished from circulation almost entirely, hoarded or simply absent. These provisional notes were a stopgap, produced locally under extremely modest conditions.

The AND-6 is among the scarcest of the 1937 Andorran emergency series. Print runs were small, redemption was swift once stability returned, and Andorra's geographic isolation meant few examples left the valleys at all.
