Where it comes from
From Spanish peseta, from peso (“coin or weight”).
noun pesetas
- The former currency of the Spanish Empire and Andorra, divided into 100 céntimos. The task was more to Appleby's liking than the one he had anticipated, and it was necessary, since the smaller merchants in Cuba and also in parts of Peninsular Spain have no great confidence in bankers, and prefer a packet of golden onzas or a bag of pesetas to the best accredited cheque.
- The Equatorial Guinean peseta, a former currency of Equatorial Guinea
- The Sahrawi peseta, de jure currency of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.
- The Catalan peseta, a former currency of Catalonia.
