| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Francisco Franco, Head of State of Spain, rendered in high relief with strong portraiture detail. The legend encircles the bust, reading FRANCISCO FRANCO CAUDILLO DE ESPAÑA POR LA G. DE DIOS, with the date of the series' commencement positioned below the truncation. The inscription is set in Latin characters against a flat field, with the engraver's work reflecting the academic realist style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Spanish medallic art. |

| Reverse description | The crowned coat of arms of Francoist Spain occupies the central field, flanked on either side by the denomination UNA PESETA, with the word UNA appearing above the shield and PESETA below. The pillars of Hercules bearing the motto PLUS ULTRA appear to either side of the arms. The Francoist motto UNA GRANDE LIBRE is distributed around the design, and the actual year of minting is encoded within the six-pointed stars positioned to the left and right of the shield, dividing the two final digits of the year between them. |
