The denomination 50 flanked by raised dots appears to the left, the abbreviation PTAS to the right, and the Madrid mint mark M is positioned at the lower right of the field, all within a denticular border. |

| Additional information |
Spain's transition from dictatorship to constitutional monarchy created an awkward minting calendar. The star privy marks used on these coins — a holdover from the Franco era's dating system — encode the intended year of issue inside a six-pointed star, a detail that frequently mismatches the actual year of striking. The 1983-dated dies, for instance, were used well into 1984 production runs, meaning the star date and the catalog date rarely tell the same story.
