Type with an 8-pointed star for Barcelona. In 1864, the second decimal system, the Escudo de Plata (silver shield), was introduced. The aim was to achieve an association with the Latin Monetary Union. The equivalences were as follows: - 10 Escudos = 100 Reales - 100 Céntimos de Escudo = 1 Escudo. After the fall of Queen Isabel II, this second system was replaced in 1868 by the Peseta, based on 2 Escudos de plata = 5 Pesetas.
