| Obverse description | This note is a wartime overprint on the original 1 Pesseta issue of March 1937 from the Consell Municipal de Figueres. The central vignette presents a helmeted soldier alongside a worker, a composition evoking the Republican alliance of military and civilian labour during the Spanish Civil War. Red letterpress overprinting superimposed on the face of the original note introduces the revised denomination and the authorisation text of the Government Commission session dated 31 May 1937. |

| Reverse description | The reverse retains the original vignette of an industrial factory with large smoking chimneys, executed in the social-realist graphic idiom characteristic of Republican-era Catalan emergency issues. Red letterpress overprinting repeats the new denomination and the Government Commission authorisation legend dated 31 May 1937. The original inscriptions MARÇ 1937 and 1 pesseta remain legible beneath the overprint. |
