Why is this 100 peseta banknote 1884 Pick-31 so special?

This banknote is part of the second issue of 1884 (July), produced at the Bank of Spain's printing works to complement the first series of January (commissioned from the American Bank Note Company and affected by counterfeits). It shows a clear North American aesthetic influence, but was printed locally with great detail.

  • History and context — Issued on July 1, 1884, without a series, during a time of economic expansion and modernization. Limited quantities compared to later issues, which increases its current rarity.
  • Obverse design — Central portrait of Alejandro Mon y Menéndez , surrounded by the numeral "100" and protected by two winged griffins. Colors in black with green details and anti-counterfeiting guilloches.
  • Reverse design — Steam locomotive in green, symbol of the railway and industrial advancement of the time, with classic geometric elements.
  • Technical elements — Printed at the Bank of Spain's printing facility, variable signatures, black numbering and watermark. Approximate dimensions: 140-150 x 90 mm.
