| Comments |
Bradbury Wilkinson printed this note at their New Malden works during a period when the Banco de España still relied heavily on British security printers — a dependence that would become politically awkward within a decade. The 1925 series was issued under Primo de Rivera's dictatorship, which had stabilized the peseta somewhat after the turbulence of the early 1920s, though Spain's public finances remained precarious throughout.
The Pick 69 series is known for ink oxidation on surviving examples, particularly around the central design area, a characteristic of Bradbury Wilkinson's ink formulations on Spanish contracts of this period.
