| Reverse description | Right-facing bust of Antonio Cánovas del Castillo, the eminent 19th-century Spanish statesman, depicted wearing spectacles and a suit, rendered in finely engraved relief within a recessed circular inner field. To the left of the portrait, the commemorative dates 1897 and 1997 are separated by a horizontal rule, marking the centenary of his assassination. Below the dates appears the crowned mint mark of the Real Casa de la Moneda. The name ANTONIO CÁNOVAS DEL CASTILLO arcs prominently across the upper border of the outer raised ring, while the denomination 1000 PTAS is inscribed along the lower border, both separated by raised rims. |
