L'Albí is a small municipality in the Les Garrigues comarca of Lleida, and like dozens of similarly minor Catalan localities, its dominant labor syndicate stepped into the monetary vacuum created by the 1936–37 coin shortage by issuing its own fractional currency. The CNT-affiliated agricultural and trades unions were the most common issuers of these emergency vales, and the Sindicat de Treballadors de la Terra i Oficis Varis fits squarely within that pattern — the title itself signals a combined rural and mixed-trades membership typical of small-town anarcho-syndicalist organization in wartime Republican territory.
The thick card stock construction was a practical choice: thinner paper wore out rapidly in agricultural hands.
