| Reverse description | Two allegorical female figures rendered in fine intaglio engraving occupy the central vignette: one seated to the left, draped in classical robes, gestures toward a large circular cartouche flanked by a decorative urn and a barrel, while a second figure to the right reclines amid sheaves of harvested wheat. The denomination numeral "500" and the word "PESETAS" appear on a panel at centre, below which a foliate banner bears the issuer's name. The composition is signed in the lower margin by the designer Villegas and the engraver B. Maura. |
