背面描述	Printed entirely in violet, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate guilloche background of fine geometric lathe-work covering the entire field, with the numeral "400" in each of the four corners. A large central circular vignette, framed by a ring of repeated "400 ESCUDOS" lettering, encloses an allegorical figure; flanking foliate ornaments extend to either side of the central medallion.

备注	Spain's 1868 escudo series sits at one of the more abrupt fault lines in Spanish monetary history. The escudo had been introduced in 1864 as part of a decimalization reform, replacing the real at a rate of ten reales to one escudo — but the denomination barely had time to establish itself. The September 1868 revolution that overthrew Isabella II also brought a currency reset: the peseta system was adopted in 1869, rendering escudo-denominated notes obsolete almost immediately after this one was printed. The Banco de España's in-house workshop handled production, which was not always the case for high-value notes of this period — foreign firms like Bradbury Wilkinson were frequently engaged for prestige issues. That this was printed domestically at such a transitional moment is itself a minor operational detail worth noting.
