| Comments |
The Instituto de la Vivienda de Madrid was a regional housing authority, not a monetary institution — which makes any paper instrument bearing its name and a denomination in pesetas a genuine oddity. These were almost certainly internal vouchers or accounting documents issued under Spain's post-Franco regional administrative expansion, when newly empowered autonomous and municipal bodies were generating their own financial paperwork at considerable volume. Whether this circulated in any meaningful sense outside the institution's own offices is doubtful.
Cataloging it as a banknote is generous. The classification likely rests on format and denomination alone.
