| Additional information |
The 2000 pesetas denomination had a strange final chapter. Spain had been locked into euro conversion since the Maastricht Treaty criteria were met, and by 2000 the peseta was effectively a currency in countdown — legal tender with an expiration date of February 2002. Collector silver issues like this one were struck knowing full well they would never see meaningful circulation, produced for a numismatic market increasingly interested in farewell pieces from a currency that had survived Franco, the transition to democracy, and forty years of economic transformation.
