| Obverse description | At left, a tall ornate vignette in brown intaglio engraving incorporates a central medallion bearing the interlaced 'BE' bank monogram, framed by guilloche latticework within an architectural cartouche inscribed 'BANCO DE ESPAÑA' at the top. The right portion of the note carries the promise-to-pay text in italic script against a cream field, with a large '25' underprint in pale yellow serving as a denomination underprint at centre. Serial numbers appear at upper centre and lower left, with 'PTAS 25' printed in bold letterpress at upper right flanked by engine-turned ornaments. |
