| Obverse description | The face is framed by an elaborate architectural border in the form of a portico, with classical columns flanking the central text panel and upper and lower registers filled with fruits, floral garlands, and cornucopias. The Catalan-language inscription occupies the central field, stating the note's value, its mandatory legal tender status within the municipality, and the condition of reimbursement at the municipal treasury. The overall design is executed in a letterpress ornamental style typical of Spanish Civil War-era municipal emergency issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries two circular vignettes: the upper left vignette contains the local coat of arms of El Masnou, while the lower right vignette presents a rural scene of a peasant guiding two horses pulling a plough. The remainder of the field is occupied by the issuing authority's inscription. The composition reflects the agrarian and civic symbolism common to Catalan municipal wartime notes. |
