Albuñol is a small municipality in the Alpujarra Granadina, deep in the province of Granada. During the Spanish Civil War, the Republican zone suffered a near-total collapse of small-denomination coinage — hoarding and the wartime disruption of the Madrid Mint left local commerce almost impossible to conduct. Hundreds of Spanish municipalities responded the same way: printing or stamping their own emergency paper, legally sanctioned under a 1937 decree from the Republican government authorizing local authorities to issue fractional currency.
The Gari Moneda reference (66-B) indicates a variant classification, suggesting at least one other version of this emission exists — likely differentiated by stamp color, paper stock, or overprint placement.
