| Obverse description | Two allegorical putti flank the central text field: the left figure bears a cornucopia of agricultural produce, the right holds a fishing net and trident, both rendered in fine intaglio. The central vignette carries the bank title in ornate letterpress above the denomination VEINTICINCO PESETAS and the date Madrid 1º de Julio de 1874. Three signature lines for El Gobernador, El Interventor, and El Cajero appear below, with a guilloche-bordered serial panel at left. |

A large central medallion in fine engine-turned guilloche contains the bold numeral 25, flanked by PESETAS cartouches left and right. Corner rosettes each bear the numeral 25, and a top-centre oval cartouche reads SERIE B 25 PESETAS within a decorative border. |
