100 Reales de Vellón Banco de La Coruña

The Banco de La Coruña was one of a wave of provincial Spanish banks authorized under the 1856 banking law, which briefly liberalized note-issuing rights beyond the Banco de España. La Coruña's institution was among the smaller and shorter-lived of these provincial issuers — the 1874 decree consolidating all circulation rights under the Banco de España effectively ended its note-issuing function, and most of its paper was retired and destroyed shortly after.

Survivors from this series are rare precisely because provincial redemption was thorough. The reales de vellón denomination itself was already an anachronism by 1857, with Spain's escudo system incoming within a decade.
