Throughout Book II of the Spanish Penal Code mandates the verification of specific losses (equivalent to a certain monetary amount) as a prerequisite for criminal liability. This paper analyzes such requirements through grammatical, systematic, historical, and teleological interpretative methods. In some instances, it is suggested that these amounts be considered as elements of the crime (actus reus), while in other cases, they are viewed as objective conditions for the (effective application of) punishment. The distinction we propose lies in whether these amounts influence the deservingness of punishment for the conduct (elements of the crime/wrongdoing) or the necessity for punishment (objective conditions for punishment).A lo largo del Libro II del código penal español el legislador ha previsto ciertas cuantías como parte de los presupuestos de la responsabilidad penal. Se analizan esos supuestos con criterios gramaticales, sistemáticos, históricos y teleológicos, y se propone considerar esas cuantías en unos casos como elementos del tipo, y en otros como condiciones objetivas de punibilidad. La distinción radica en si afectan al merecimiento de pena de la conducta (elementos del tipo), o a la necesidad de penal (condiciones objetivas de punibilidad)
