Pick 57 was issued during a period when Spain remained neutral in the First World War — a neutrality that generated significant export revenue and temporarily strengthened the peseta, making high-denomination notes like this one genuinely necessary for commercial transactions rather than ceremonial.
This is a replica. The original series is rare enough in any condition that reproductions circulate widely among collectors who want a physical reference for the type.
