Spanish Currency – Spanish Money History: The Peseta

The euro was introduced in Spain in 2002. Most of the countries from the European Union adopted this new currency to make it easier to travel between countries. Euro is the official currency of 19 out of 28 member states: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands and Portugal.

There are seven euro notes, worth €500, €200, €100, €50, €20, € 10and €5. Regarding coins, there are eight different kinds: €2, €1, €0.50, €0.20, €0.10, € 0.05, € 0.02 and 0.01€. While one side of the coin has a common image for all the eurozone, the other one offers a different design in each country. Spanish coins, for example, usually have several monuments and the King’s portrait.

CURRENCY’S HISTORY IN SPAIN

Real, escudo, and peseta were some of the Spanish currencies before the euro. Most of the transitions from one to the other took place due to territorial unification. In an organic way, many regions began to call their money by different names, until a new form of payment was implemented.

Real was the official Spanish currency for hundreds of years, from the middle of the 14th century to 1864. The Castilian King Peter I introduced this standard coin, worth three maravedíes. These were Iberian coins made of gold or silver. Eight reales were equivalent to the weight of one silver peso or Spanish dollar, which was presented the same year. The Spanish dollar was used in the Americas and Asia, and it became very popular as trading money for international commerce.

The Spanish escudo (or shield) had two denominations: silver and gold. The first escudo was a golden coin introduced in 1566. It continued being coined until 1833. The silver escudo was used between 1864 and 1869. Each escudo was worth several reales and they were finally replaced by pesetas.

Before the euro existed, peseta was the official currency of Spain from 1869 to 2002. The word peseta is derived from the Catalan peceta, diminutive of peça, and it means “small piece.” During the 15th century, pesetas were made of silver and equivalent to the value of two reales.

In an effort to unify the currencies of the country, a decree was released in 1868, establishing the Spanish affiliation to the Latin Monetary Union. This way, peseta was fixed as the national currency. Its objective was to strengthen the economy and promote business in a stable financial environment.

SPANISH ECONOMY AFTER THE EURO

When Spain was accepted in the European Union in 1985, foreign investment increased and the market was liberalized. The country was the main beneficiary of the harmonization fund of the EU, whose aim was to support poorer countries in the group and reduce economic disparities.

The Spanish economy got boosted by several EU-financed projects. Some of them were the construction of airports, highways, and high-speed trains. After a slight economic downturn in the 90s, Spain returned to a growth period.

Nowadays, it is among the 15 top global economies and the top 5 European ones. Its GDP growth has been above the average for 15 years now, even though it began slowing down at the end of 2007.

In the second quarter of 2008, the Spanish economy suffered a recession, like many other countries. Then, the country went through a decline in construction, a real-estate bubble, and a fall in exports. In 2009, Spain had the highest unemployment rate in the European Union.

THE PILLARS OF THE CURRENT SPANISH ECONOMY

Despite the rural depopulation and the change of its economic models, Spain still has important agricultural and livestock sectors. Among its most important products are cereals, vegetables, olives, wine, citrus fruits, meat, dairy, and fish.

Regarding the industrial sector, textile, shoes, and food and drinks production rank on the top of the list. The metal industry, as well as the chemical and the pharmaceutical ones play important roles in the Spanish economy. In addition, lots of ships, cars, and machinery are manufactured daily in the country.

However, tourism is probably the most popular economic activity. Every year, more than 82 million international tourists visit Spain and spend around 87 million euros during their stay.

Spanish currency. Spanish money: coins and banknotes

On January 1, 2002, the national currency of Spain – the peseta ceased to exist, as the kingdom finally switched to the euro.

Since the appearance of their own coinage in the Spanish state formations and up to the present time, there has been a successive change of currencies in money circulation:

  • Dinero period – 814-1350,
  • real period – 1350-1864,
  • peseta period – 1869-2001,
  • euro period – from 2002 to the present.

Early money of Spain

Minting of the first coins in Spain began during the reign of Carthage over the coast of the Iberian Peninsula. After the defeat of Hannibal in 210 BC. Spain falls into the sphere of influence of Rome. However, for another two long centuries, the Romans in bloody wars established their power over the local population.

For the first time the name “HISPANIA” and the personification of this Roman province in the form of a woman’s head appeared on the denarii of the Roman Republic in the 1st century BC. BC. Later, “Spain” was depicted on the denarii of the emperors Hadrian and Antoninus Pius.

In the 5th-7th centuries, the territory of the Iberian Peninsula fell under the rule of the Visigoths, who created their own kingdom and minted gold and silver coins according to late Roman and Byzantine models.

At the beginning of the 8th century, almost the entire Iberian Peninsula was captured by the Arabs and became part of the Umayyad Caliphate. On the territory of Spain, several autonomous Arab emirates were formed – Cordoba, Grenada, Toledo, Seville, united under the common name Al-Andalus.

The dinero period begins with the creation of the Spanish brand of the Carolingian Empire at the beginning of the 9th century on the border with the Arab possessions. The March consisted of several counties, vassals from the Emperor of the West. The strongest county was Barcelona. Barcelona’s currency, the dinero, which was minted after the denarius (pfennig) of Charlemagne, became one of the most popular coins in medieval Spain.

For seven hundred years, Christians have been waging the so-called Reconquista – the conquest of the lands of Spain from the Arabs (Moors). In the bloody wars of the Reconquista, the future of the Spanish kingdom gradually took shape. In 1350, under the king of Castile and Leon, Pedro I, the minting of a new coin began – the real, which would become the basis of the Spanish monetary system for the next five hundred years.

Initially produced in silver, then in billon and copper, and later becoming a monetary unit, the real did not give up its positions until the second half of the 19th century.

In 1782, King Charles III gave permission for the creation in Madrid of a private joint-stock bank under royal protection – Banco Nacional de San Carlos. In 1783, the new bank began issuing the first paper money in Spain called cédulas (certificate). These certificates guaranteed an immediate refund, which would be made by the issuing bank itself.

Cedulas were issued to the bearer without interest, which distinguished them from debt securities. Tsedulas were issued in denominations from 200 to 1000 reais.

The first gold escudo coins appeared in Spain in the 16th century. They got their name because of the image of a coat of arms on one of the sides (Spanish: escudo – shield). In the middle of the 19th century, a decimal monetary system based on the real was introduced in Spain. But in 1864, it was decided to make the silver escudo, consisting of 100 centimo escudos or 10 countable reais, the main monetary unit.

There were several public and private mints in Spain until King Philip V decided in the 18th century to make the minting of coins an exclusively state monopoly. Under Queen Isabella II in the 1860s, all mints were closed except for the mint in Madrid.

In 1868, Spain became a member of the Latin Monetary Union and in connection with the unification of the monetary systems of the member countries of the Union in Spain in 1869A new base currency, the peseta, was introduced. The name comes from “el peso” – “weight”, or “pieza” – a piece with a diminutive “-eta” – a piece.

The peseta became the currency of Spain for the next 132 years. The first peseta coins were minted in 1869 at the Madrid Mint, which later became the Royal Mint of Spain. Today it is Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre – Real Casa de la Moneda (FNMT-RCM) – “National Factory of Coins and Stamps – Royal Mint”.

Inspired by the Roman coins minted under Hadrian, the engraver of the Madrid Mint Luis Marchionni placed on one side of the peseta the personification of Spain in the form of a female figure sitting on the Pyrenees mountains with an olive branch in her hand and the rock of Gibraltar at her feet. The first Spanish banknotes denominated in pesetas were printed on July 1, 1874, when the Banco de España (Bank of Spain) received exclusive rights to issue banknotes.

Traditionally, Spanish banknotes had a very diverse iconography and motifs related to prominent personalities, allegories of economic activity (trade, agriculture, industry) or the ideals of Spanish society (family, justice, freedom, etc. ).

Over the course of 132 years, from those first copies in 1869 to the last pesetas minted in 2001, coins have come in various denominations, sizes, metals and obverse and reverse designs. Banknotes and coins were a reflection of changing political regimes, philosophies, fashions and trends, being today part of Spanish history.

Before the introduction of the euro in Spain, eight denominations of 1989-2001 coins were in circulation: 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 500 pesetas. The 25 pesetas coin had a round hole, while the 50 pesetas had the shape of a Spanish flower – flor española.

The production of banknotes in the euro area is decentralized – each national central bank is responsible for issuing its own, strictly established part of the total volume of all euro banknotes.

In 2002, the euro banknote production system was changed and reorganized according to a decentralized co-production model, so that each national central bank is now responsible for the production of a certain number of banknotes, usually one or two denominations. The Bank of Spain is responsible for the production of 20 and 50 euro banknotes.

The history of Spanish money: from the real, through the escudo to the euro – History and culture of Catalonia

What kind of money and at what time went in Spain at different times.


Those who have been living in Spain for a long time know how reverent attitude towards old money Spanish pensioners have. And pensioners are, consider, half of the population of the country.

Moreover, the most solvent part of the inhabitants of Spain.

Never brush aside or speak disrespectfully about pesetas. A polite Spaniard will not tell you anything. But you can lose a client or a friend. Even banks still write the cost of real estate or a loan in both euros and pesetas.

Think why?

Therefore, today we decided to tell you a little about what kind of money and at what time went in Spain at different times.

1. Spanish real

The main currency of the Spanish kingdom for many centuries was the real. In the middle of the XIV century, King Pedro I of Castile introduced this coin, which was equal to three maravedis – ancient Iberian coins made of silver and gold.

Eight reais equaled one peso, which was also called the dollar. Real was minted from silver and all these Spanish coins were in circulation in all markets of the world, they were especially common in America and Asia.

2. Spanish escudo

Escudo in Spain was called two coins – gold and silver.
Gold Escudo was first minted in 1566, and the last coin appeared in 1833.

The silver escudo (pictured) appeared in 1864 and replaced the real.

In different periods of the country’s history, the ratio of real to escudo was different. The escudo existed as a monetary unit until the advent of a new silver coin – the peseta.

3. Pesetas

Pesetas were introduced in Spain in 1869 and were in circulation until 2002, when they were replaced by the euro.

The word “peseta” (Spanish: peseta) comes from a diminutive form of the Catalan word “Peza” – “peseta” means “piece”.

Starting from the 15th century, a small silver coin was called a peseta, in the Middle Ages it was the sum of two reales.

In October 1868, in order to strengthen the Spanish economy, stabilize the country’s financial system and facilitate trade, a special decree regulated the use of the peseta as the national currency.

At this time, Spain becomes a member of the Latin Monetary Union, created to unify the monetary systems that existed at that time in Europe.

And on July 1, 1874, the Mint of Spain printed the first banknotes of 25, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 pesetas, which circulated alongside silver coins, but were used only by financial institutions.

Since 1935, when silver became more expensive and the peseta was devalued, the government printed 5 and 10 peseta notes, which became the “silver certificate of coins” withdrawn from use.

As a result of the crisis of the Spanish economy during the Civil War, the national currency also depreciated. The Bank of Spain issued banknotes in denominations of 50 centimos, 1, 2, 5, 10 pesetas, which replaced the small minted coin.

By 1974, up to 700 million peseta banknotes of various denominations were in circulation in Spain, and after 4 years – about a billion. The largest note was the 1,000 pesetas, and the Spaniards carried bundles of paper money with them, especially when it came to large purchases.

Gradually, beginning in the 1970s, small denominations of pesetas began to be withdrawn from use, and banknotes of ever larger denominations appeared instead. So, in 1976, a banknote of 5,000 pesetas was issued. At 19In 82, the issue of banknotes up to 100 pesetas inclusive was stopped – instead, coins of 200 and 500 pesetas were issued.

The last series of paper pesetas was issued in 1992 – these were banknotes of 1000, 2000, 5000 and 10000 pesetas. These banknotes were in use until 202, when they were replaced by the euro. Note that until now, those who have pesetas in their hands can exchange them at the Bank of Spain for euros.

In memory of the peseta in Estepona, there is a monument to this obsolete monetary unit of Spain.

4. Euro – the current currency of Spain

To simplify financial transactions and facilitate travel within the European Community in 2002, the euro was introduced in Spain.

Today, the euro is in circulation in 18 of the 28 EU member states: Austria, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Finland, France and Estonia,

Euro banknotes are issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 €, as well as coins in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 eurocents, 1 and 2 euros.

By the way, paper banknotes are the same in all EU countries, but the obverse of coins is different for each country.
