Before 1859 Spain was using the real as a legal tender. In 1864
it was replaced by silver escudo. In 1868 peseta was introduced
as Spain joined the Latin Monetary Union. 1 peseta equals 100
centimos. In 2002 Spain introduced the euro. Images of 2000,
5000, 10.000 pesetas banknotes were kindly provided by David
Rivera Alonso, collector from Spain and a friend of mine. His
site can be found here.
