The Latin Monetary Union ( LMU) was a 19th century attempt to unify several European currencies into a single currency that could be The Spanish Law of June 26, 1864 decreed that in preparation for joining the Latin Monetary Union (set up in 1865), the peseta became a subdivision of the peso with 1 peso duro = 5 pesetas. The word peso (meaning weight in Spanish was the name of a coin that originated in Spain and became of immense importance internationally The peseta replaced the escudo at a rate of 5 pesetas = 1 peso duro = 2 escudos.

The political turbulence of the early 20th century caused the monetary union to break up, although it was not until 1927 that the union came to an official end.
In 1959, Spain became part of the Bretton Woods System, pegging the peseta at a value of 60 pesetas = 1 U.S. dollar.

Symbol
Traditionally, there was never a single symbol nor special character for the Spanish peseta. Common abbreviations were "Pt", "Pta", "Pts" and "Ptas", and even using superior letters: "Ptas". In Typography and handwriting a superior letter is a lower-case letter placed above the baseline and made smaller than ordinary script
Common earlier Spanish models of mechanic typewriters had the expression "Pts" in a single type (₧), as a shorthand intended to fill a single type space (₧) in tables instead of three (Pts). A typewriter is a mechanical or Electromechanical device with a set of "keys" that when pressed cause characters to be printed on a medium
Later, Spanish models of IBM electric typewriters also included the same type in its repertoire. The IBM Electric typewriters were a series of electric Typewriters that IBM manufactured starting in the late 1940s
When the first IBM PC was designed circa 1980, it included a "peseta symbol" ₧ in the ROM of the Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA) and Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) video output cards' hardware, with the code number 158. The Monochrome Display Adapter ( MDA, also MDA card, Monochrome Display and Printer Adapter, MDPA) introduced in 1981 was IBM The Monochrome Display Adapter ( MDA, also MDA card, Monochrome Display and Printer Adapter, MDPA) introduced in 1981 was IBM The Color Graphics Adapter ( CGA) originally also called the Color/Graphics Adapter or IBM Color/Graphics Monitor Adapter The Color Graphics Adapter ( CGA) originally also called the Color/Graphics Adapter or IBM Color/Graphics Monitor Adapter This original character set chart becomes later the MS-DOS code page 437.

Lotus 1-2-3 is a Spreadsheet program from Lotus Software (now part of IBM)
Subsequent international MS-DOS code pages, like code page 850 and others, deprecated this character in favour of some other national characters, so the "peseta symbol" life was brief. MS-DOS (short for M icro' s' oft D isk O perating S ystem is an Operating system commercialized by Microsoft. Code page is the traditional IBM term used to map a specific set of characters to numerical Code point values. Code page 850 is a Code page that was used in western Europe under systems such as DOS.
In order to guarantee the interchange with previous encodings (namely, the code page 437 in this case), the international standard Unicode includes this character as U+20A7 PESETA SIGN in its Currency Symbols block. In Computing, Unicode is an Industry standard allowing Computers to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world's Out of that, the use of the "peseta symbol" standalone is extremely rare, and it is outdated since the adoption of the euro in Spain.
