| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned heraldic shield of Catalonia — the four red pales on gold — surmounted by a royal crown. To the left of the shield, a stylized outline of a traditional Catalan barretina (stocking cap) is depicted in the field, while to the right appears a silhouette map of Catalonia overlaid with the Senyera flag motif. Four five-pointed stars are arranged in an arc below the shield. The legend CATALUNYA runs along the lower rim in raised Latin lettering. |

| Additional information |
The Catalan diners series occupies a peculiar space in modern numismatics — these are official Spanish issues acknowledging a distinct Catalan monetary identity, produced precisely when the political tension between Catalonia and Madrid was at its sharpest following the 2017 independence referendum and the subsequent suspension of Catalan autonomy under Article 155. The Spanish state issuing a coin denominated in diners, the medieval currency of Catalonia, during that aftermath is a contradiction worth noting.
