Pick 133 is the genuine 1946 1000 Pesetas note — this listing is for a replica. The original was issued during the early Franco dictatorship, a period when the Banco de España operated under tight state control following the Civil War's destruction of the pre-war monetary apparatus. The Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre in Madrid printed the entire series domestically, a deliberate policy choice after years of relying on foreign security printers.
Replicas of this type circulate widely in the Spanish collector market, often sold as recuerdos. Authentication against an original is straightforward — the intaglio printing depth on genuine examples is pronounced to the touch.
