Private issues

León

Casino de León

The Casino was part of a 1905 development in the Plaza Principal by the architect Luis Long in the neoclassical style with a neo-Mudéjar façade. It housed a shopping centre (under an advanced concept for the time) with the inclusion of the Lonja Mercantil (Commercial Market), also known as El Casino, which was established as a meeting space for the economic and social elite of León until the 1950s.

This 10c note was issued by the cantina.
