Spain-Civil War Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in Spain is fascinating and reflects the political and economic changes in the country. From the introduction of the first banknotes to the present day, Spanish note collecting has undergone numerous transformations, with the Civil War being a particularly interesting period for collectors.

Banknotes during the Civil War

During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), the issuance of banknotes was divided between the two opposing sides. The Republican side continued to use the banknotes of the Banco de España, while the National side issued its own banknotes. In addition, many town halls and local organizations issued vouchers and necessity bills to alleviate the shortage of fractional currency. These local banknotes are now highly sought after pieces by collectors due to their rarity and historical value.

Current and old banknotes

The current banknotes in circulation in Spain are the euros, introduced in 2002. Prior to this, the peseta was the official currency from 1868 until 2002. The most remembered peseta banknotes are those of the last series, which included portraits of historical figures such as Christopher Columbus, Hernán Cortés and the Catholic Monarchs. An important milestone in Spanish banknotes was the introduction of the 10,000 peseta bill in 1985, which featured the portrait of King Juan Carlos I and was the largest denomination bill in the history of the peseta.
