The ESP (Spanish Peseta) was the legal tender used in Spain and Andorra before the euro came into circulation in 2002. Issued by the Central Bank of Spain, the Bank of Spain. The peseta was divided into 100 points before it was cancelled due to inflation. The first coin of the Spanish peseta appeared in Barcelona in 1808 and was made by the French army who occupied the place at the time.

Traditionally, there was never a single symbol or special character for the Spanish peseta. Common abbreviations were “Pt”, “Pta”, “Pts” and “Ptas”. A common way of representing amounts of pesetas in print was using superior letters: “Pta” and “Pts”.
