Roquetas de Mar was one of hundreds of Spanish municipalities forced into emergency paper issue during the Civil War after metallic coinage vanished from circulation almost entirely in 1936. Local councils — many with no financial expertise and no access to national printing facilities — improvised as best they could. Papelería Lacoste was a commercial stationery and printing shop in Almería, the provincial capital roughly 30 kilometres up the coast.
The Gari Montllor catalog reference places this among the rarer provincial emissions, and commercial-printer issues from small Almería municipalities tend to survive in lower quantities than those from larger urban centers.
