| Obverse description | A panoramic vignette of the bay of Port de la Selva on the Costa Brava occupies the central field, with the town visible along the shoreline and hills in the background. A circular compass rose with the four cardinal points frames an inset emblem of Catalonia. Denomination and municipal authority inscriptions are arranged around the central vignette in letterpress. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette consists of a bunch of grapes paired with a fishing net and anchor, alluding to the dual economic identity of Port de la Selva as both a winemaking and seafaring community. The composition is rendered in a simple letterpress style typical of Spanish Civil War municipal emergency issues. Validity and date inscriptions are distributed across the note in Catalan. |
