Pick 146 is the 5 Pesetas note of 22 July 1954, one of the smaller-denomination issues of the Franco period printed entirely by the FNMT in Madrid. The word "replica" in the item name warrants attention: the FNMT has produced authorized facsimile reproductions of Spanish notes for collectors and institutions, and these carry printed or stamped indications of their non-negotiable status. Whether this example is an original circulated note or an official facsimile reproduction determines its catalog placement and value entirely — the two should not be conflated.
The original 1954 issue circulated heavily in everyday transactions until peseta inflation made the 5-peseta note functionally obsolete by the 1970s.
