| Comments |
The 1935 issue marked one of the last occasions the Banco de España contracted Bradbury Wilkinson for a domestic-denomination note before the Civil War fractured both the republic's finances and its printing arrangements entirely. Within a year of this note's production, Spain had two competing governments, each issuing their own currency and invalidating the other's.
The "Silver Certificate" designation — certificado de plata — was largely nominal by this point; Spain had suspended silver convertibility well before 1935. The title was retained more out of legal continuity than any genuine redemption obligation.
