Albox is a small agricultural municipality in Almería province, and like hundreds of Spanish towns during the Civil War, it issued its own emergency paper currency when the Republican government's coin supply collapsed under wartime pressure. These local emissions — known collectively as "moneda municipal de necesidad" — were authorized piecemeal and produced under whatever printing conditions were available locally, which typically meant inconsistent paper stock, crude typography, and short runs.
The Garrido Moraga catalog reference places this within a documented but sparsely traded series. Almería-province municipals from 1937 survive in lower numbers than their Catalan counterparts, partly because the region changed hands and subsequent instability was hard on retained paper.
