Spanish Peseta
The peseta (, ), * ca, pesseta, was the currency of Spain between 1868 and 2002. Along with the French franc, it was also a ''de facto'' currency used in Andorra (which had no national currency with legal tender). Etymology The name of the currency originally comes from ''peceta'', a Catalan diminutive form of the (Catalan) word ''peça'' (lit. ''piece'', i.e. a coin), not from the Spanish ''peso'' (lit. ''weight''). The word ''peseta'' has been known as early as 1737 to colloquially refer to the coin worth 2 ''reales provincial'' or of a peso.

Catalan Peseta
The ''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 reales de vellón. It was coined in Barcelona in gold and silver from 1808 until 1814, under the Napoleonic government. In Catalonia, the peceta was subdivided into 6 ''sous'', each of 4 ''quarts'' (also spelled ''cuartos'' in Spanish), 8 ''xavos'' or 12 ''diners''. Five pecetes were equal to one duro, which was itself equal to the Spanish 8 '' reales de plata fuerte'' ( Spanish dollar). In the new, decimal currency, the peseta was worth 4 reales.
