200 Reales de Vellón Banco de Cádiz

The Banco de Cádiz was one of Spain's provincial emission banks authorized under the 1856 banking law, which briefly allowed regional institutions to issue their own notes before the Banco de España consolidated that privilege nationally in 1874. Cádiz, as a major Atlantic port, had genuine commercial need for paper instruments, but these provincial notes circulated only within narrow geographic limits and were rarely trusted far from the issuing branch.

Survivors are scarce. The 1874 absorption forced redemption and destruction of outstanding provincial issues, and Cádiz's overall volume was modest even by the standards of the smaller emission banks.
