Catalan Peseta
The Catalan peseta (in Catalan language, Catalan: ''peceta''; pl. ''pecetes'') was a unit of currency in Catalonia until 1850, when the whole of Spain decimalized. It was also a name used throughout Spain for an amount of four Spanish real, reales de vellón. It was coined in Barcelona in gold and silver from 1808 until 1814, under the Napoleonic government. In Catalonia, the peseta was subdivided into six Sou (French coin), sous, each of four ''quarts'' (also spelled ''cuartos'' in Spanish), eight ''ochavos'' or twelve Spanish dinero, dineros. Five pesetas were equal to one Duro (monetary unit), duro, which was itself equal to the Spanish eight ''Spanish real, reales de plata fuerte'' (Spanish dollar). In the new, decimal currency, the peseta was worth four reales. The name Spanish peseta, peseta reappeared in 1868 for the new Spanish peseta, Spanish currency. Its value was equivalent to that of the earlier peseta. Etymology The name of the currency comes from the Catalan diminu ...

Sahrawi Peseta
The Sahrawi peseta (, ) is the ''de jure'' currency of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. It is divided into 100 céntimos, although coins with this denomination have never been minted, nor have banknotes been printed. The first Sahrawi pesetas were minted in 1990, but they were not adopted as the national coin of Western Sahara until 1997. As this territory is mostly controlled by Morocco, the circulating currency in that part of the country is the Moroccan dirham, with Algerian dinars and Mauritanian ouguiyas circulating alongside the Sahrawi peseta in the Sahrawi refugee camps and the Free Zone (region), SADR-controlled part of Western Sahara. As it is not an official currency and not circulating, the exchange rate is not realistic. Despite this, the Sahrawi peseta was pegged at par to the Spanish peseta and, when the latter was phased out for the euro, the rate became €1 for 166.386 Pts. Coins Non-commemorative coins are supposedly designated for circulation. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
Spanish Peseta
The peseta (, ) was the currency of Spain between 1868 and 2002. Along with the French franc, it was also a de facto currency, ''de facto'' currency used in Andorra (which had no national currency with legal tender). Etymology The name of the currency derives from ''peceta'', a Catalan Language, Catalan word meaning ''little piece,'' from of the Catalan word ''peça'' (lit. ''piece'', "coin"). Its etymology has wrongly been attributed to the Spanish ''peso''. The word ''peseta'' has been known as early as 1737 to colloquially refer to the coin worth 2 ''reales provincial'' or of a peso. Coins denominated in "pesetas" were briefly issued in 1808 in Barcelona under French occupation; see Catalan peseta. Symbol Traditionally, there was never a single symbol or special character for the Spanish peseta. Common abbreviations were "Pta" (plural: "Pts), "Pt", and "Ptas".
