50 Cèntims 2nd Issue

Andorra issued its first domestic paper currency in 1936 under the Consell General — the co-principality's parliament — partly because the Spanish Civil War was disrupting the flow of Spanish and French coins across the border. These notes were a local stopgap, not a banking instrument in any conventional sense, printed in small quantities for a population that numbered only a few thousand at the time.

The 2nd Issue designation reflects a rapid revision of the initial 1936 series, though the precise trigger for the reissue is not well documented. Andorran notes from this period survive in surprisingly varied conditions given how few people handled them.
