4000 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 law, which briefly opened the door to regional note-issuing institutions before the Banco de España gradually absorbed or displaced most of them over the following two decades. La Coruña's bank had a particularly short operational window, making surviving notes from the series genuinely rare rather than simply scarce by attrition.

The 4000 reales de vellón denomination is the highest in the issue — a significant sum at the time, effectively limiting this note to wholesale commercial transactions in the Galician port economy.
