pecetes) was a unit of currency in Catalonia until 1850, when the whole of Spain decimalized.
It was coined in Barcelona in gold and silver from 1808 until 1814, under the Napoleonic government.
[1] In Catalonia, the peseta was subdivided into six sous, each of four quarts (also spelled cuartos in Spanish), eight ochavos or twelve dineros.
[3] The name of the currency comes from the Catalan diminutive form of the word peça (piece) synonym of coin.
