200 Reales de Vellón Banco de La Coruña

The Banco de La Coruña was one of Spain's short-lived provincial banks authorized under the 1856 banking reform law, which briefly allowed regional institutions to issue their own notes before the Banco de España gradually absorbed that privilege over the following decades. La Coruña's operation was modest — a port city with real commercial activity but nothing approaching the capital volumes of Madrid or Barcelona — and its notes circulated in a correspondingly tight geographic radius.

Surviving examples from this issuer are genuinely uncommon. The bank's total lifespan was brief, redemption records incomplete, and provincial Spanish notes of this period were not systematically collected until well into the twentieth century.
