Alboloduy is a small agricultural municipality in Almería province with a population that barely reached 800 in the 1930s. This note was issued by its municipal council during the Spanish Civil War, when the Republican zone suffered an acute shortage of small-denomination coinage — silver and copper had vanished from circulation almost immediately after July 1936. Hundreds of Spanish municipalities, many far larger than Alboloduy, were forced into the same improvisation.
Papelería Lacoste was a commercial stationer in Almería city, not a security printer. The dry stamp was the council's only real hedge against forgery.
