| Additional information |
Spain's transition to democracy following Franco's death in 1975 left the monetary system in need of a thorough overhaul, and the 10 peseta denomination went through several design iterations during the late 1970s and early 1980s as the new constitutional monarchy sought stable iconographic footing. This type ran only three years before being superseded — a short production window that nevertheless produced sufficient quantities to keep circulated survivors abundant.
