== Banknotes == {{main|Banknotes of the Spanish peseta}} [[File:100 pesetas of Spain 1953.jpg|thumb|''[[La Fuensanta]]'' on the reverse of Pts 100, 1953]] In 1874, the [[Bank of Spain]] (''Banco de España'' in Spanish) introduced notes for Pts 25, Pts 50, Pts 100, Pts 500 and Pts 1,000. Except for the Pts 250 notes only issued in 1878, the denominations produced by the Central Bank of Spain did not change until the Civil War, when both the Republicans and Nationalists issued Bank of Spain notes. In 1936, the Republicans issued Pts 5 and Pts 10 notes. The Ministry of Finance (''Ministerio de Hacienda'') introduced notes for 50 cts, Pta 1 and Pts 2 in 1938, as well as issuing stamp money (consisting of [[postage stamp|postage]] or [[revenue stamp]]s affixed to cardboard discs) in denominations of 5 cts, 10 cts, 15 cts, 20 cts, 25 cts, 30 cts, 40 cts, 45 cts, 50 cts and 60 cts. The first Nationalist Bank of Spain issues were made in 1936, in denominations of Pts 5, Pts 10, Pts 25, Pts 50, Pts 100, Pts 500, and Pts 1,000. Pta 1 and Pts 2 notes were added in 1937. From the mid-1940s, denominations issued were Pta 1, Pts 5, Pts 25, Pts 50, Pts 100, Pts 500, and Pts 1,000. The Pta 1, Pts 5, Pts 25, and Pts 50 were all replaced by coins by the late 1950s. In 1978, Pts 5,000 notes were introduced. The Pts 100 note was replaced by a coin in 1982, with Pts 1,000 notes introduced in 1983, Pts 200 in 1984 and Pts 10,000 in 1987. The Pts 200 and Pts 500 notes were replaced by coins in 1986 and 1987. The penultimate series of banknotes were introduced between 1982 and 1987 and the last series, dedicated to Spanish figures from the exploration of the Americas and introduced in 1992, remained legal tender until the introduction of the Euro. {|class="wikitable" style="margin:auto; font-size:90%; border-width:1px;" ! colspan=11 | Penultimate series (1979–1985)<ref name=boec>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bde.es/bde/en/areas/billemone/Publico_general/Billetes_y_moned/ |title=Banco de España - Billetes de peseta canjeables |language=es |access-date=2025-04-15 |archive-date=2020-09-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200912034551/https://www.bde.es/bde/en/areas/billemone/Publico_general/Billetes_y_moned/|url-status=live}}</ref> |- ! rowspan=2 | Image ! rowspan=2 | Value ! rowspan=2 | Euro<br/>equivalent ! rowspan=2 | Dimensions<br/>(mm) ! rowspan=2 colspan=2 | Main<br/>colour ! colspan=2 | Description ! rowspan=2 | Issued<br/>from ! rowspan=2 | Lapse |- !
