'somehow see past wealth in spain' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'somehow see past' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'see'+'past'='seepast'
'seepast' is an anagram of 'PESETAS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pesetas that I've seen before include "Old units of Spanish currency before euros" , "Former currency of Spain" , "cash, once" , "old bread" , "Units of Spanish money" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
