Obverse description The obverse displays a printed reproduction of the 15 Centimos 'Especial Movil' revenue stamp, rendered in red ink on a cream-coloured cardboard field. The stamp design features the Spanish Republican coat of arms at centre, quartered with the castles of Castile, the lion of León, the vertical bars of Aragon, and the chains of Navarre, surmounted by a mural crown. Flanking the shield are decorative laurel and oak branches, with the denomination legend '15 CENTIMOS' in bold Latin characters along the lower margin. The stamp's simulated perforation border is visible around its perimeter, and the characters 'CS' appear at upper left with the numeral '15' at upper right. The entire stamp impression is set within the round cardboard disc, which bears a tan-brown toned surround.

Reverse description The reverse presents a printed coat of arms in dark brown ink directly on the plain cardboard surface, without a stamp frame or perforation border. The shield is quartered with the traditional Castilian castles and Leonese lion in the upper quarters, and the Aragonese pale and Navarrese chains in the lower quarters, surmounted by a mural crown. Flanking the shield on either side are the Pillars of Hercules, each depicted as a classical column with a crowned capital. The legend 'PLUS ULTRA' appears on banderoles wrapped around the pillars, referencing the Spanish imperial motto.
