| Obverse description | Printed in dark blue on plain paper, the obverse is centred on the municipal coat of arms of Roquetes enclosed within a wreath-like guilloche ornament, with the issuer legend circular around the vignette. The denomination 'Una Pesseta' is set in large letterpress script to either side of the central vignette, with serial numbers appearing in the upper left and upper right corners. Two manuscript signatures appear below the vignette, with the printer's imprint 'Imp. Querol' in the lower right corner. |

| Obverse lettering | AJUNTAMENT DE ROQUETES Una Pesseta (Translation: City Council of Roquetes / One Peseta) |
| Reverse description | The entire reverse is occupied by a finely executed pen-and-ink style vignette of a peasant figure pruning an olive tree, rendered in an expressive, sketchy draughtsmanship characteristic of Catalan wartime emergency issues. The composition fills the note to its edges, with the artist's signature 'Barges' visible in the lower right corner. No textual legends or denomination appear on this side. |
