The Pick 963 designation covers a replica — not a period original — of the Banco de España's 1889 100 Pesetas note, produced by the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre, the same Madrid institution responsible for official Spanish currency printing. Replicas of this era are sometimes encountered in collections as commemorative or archival reproductions rather than circulating currency, and their catalog status can cause confusion when sellers treat them as original issues.
The 1889 original predates the peseta's consolidation under the Restoration monarchy monetary reforms and belongs to a period when the Banco de España still held regional branch-issue authority.
