Sant Guim de Freixenet is a small municipality in the Segarra comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of Catalan and Aragonese towns during the Civil War, its ayuntamiento issued fractional emergency notes when the Republic's coinage virtually vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply overwhelmed by wartime demand. The Turró catalog documents thousands of these local emissions, most produced in tiny print runs on whatever card stock was available, and most never redeemed at face value.
Turró 1060 is among the less-documented entries in the series. Short runs, local redemption only, and the chaotic administrative collapse of 1938–39 meant the majority of surviving examples were never presented for exchange.
