Castellfollit del Boix is a small municipality in the Bages comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of similarly sized towns it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the early months of the Civil War, when the Republic's small-denomination coinage vanished almost overnight into hoarding. These local issues — collectively catalogued under the *bitllets de necessitat* — were produced under municipal authority but with essentially no central oversight, meaning quality, format, and even legal standing varied wildly from one town to the next.
Turró 726 is among the more obscure entries in that corpus. No print run figures are known, and survival rates for thick card-stock issues from minor Bages municipalities are poor — wartime paper was not archival grade, and most examples that did survive were folded into small denomination use until they fell apart.
