The original 1906 series was engraved and printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Company in New Malden, Surrey — a firm that held the Banco de España contract through much of the early twentieth century. When the FNMT later produced facsimile reproductions of historic Spanish issues for archival, educational, and collector purposes, this was among the notes selected. The replica designation matters: these FNMT facsimiles are not counterfeits but officially sanctioned copies, typically marked as such, though the marking is sometimes easy to miss at a glance.
The original P#59 series had a relatively short window of active issue before higher inflation pressures and wartime disruption to European banking reshaped Spanish currency policy in subsequent decades.
