Fabryka papieru: FNMT, Burgos
Seria: Bez serii i od serii A do serii 1R.

Wprowadzony do obiegu 19 grudnia 1973 roku.

Jacinto Verdaguer (1845-1902, hiszpański poeta i ksiądz, który pisał swoje dzieła w języku katalońskim) był bardzo przekrojowym symbolem katalonizmu, a elity frankistowskie uważały, że jeśli go przywłaszczą, mogą zbliżyć część Katalończyków do swojej sprawy.

Francuska wioska Vernet-les-Bains należy do północnej Katalonii i odnosi się do katalońskojęzycznego i katalońsko-kulturowego terytorium przekazanego Francji przez Hiszpanię w wyniku podpisania traktatu w Pirenejach w 1659 r. w zamian za faktyczne zrzeczenie się przez Francję formalnej ochrony, jaką udzieliła niedawno powstałej Republice Katalońskiej.

Rewers banknotu jest w całości zajęty przez szeroki widok pokrytej śniegiem góry Canigó, zrobiony z wioski Vernet-les-Bains. Canigó pojawia się na banknocie, ponieważ ten szczyt Pirenejów jest bohaterem jednego z epickich poematów napisanych przez Verdaguera, który nosi jego imię, Canigó (1886).

Paper factory: FNMT, Burgos
Series: Without series and from series A to series 1R.

Put in circulation on December 19, 1973.

Jacinto Verdaguer (1845-1902, Spanish poet and priest who wrote his work in the Catalan language) was a very transversal symbol within Catalanism, and the Francoist elites thought that if they appropriated him they could bring a part of Catalans closer to their cause.

The French village of Vernet-les-Bains belongs to Northern Catalonia and it refers to the Catalan-speaking and Catalan-culture territory ceded to France by Spain through the signing of the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659 in exchange of France's effective renunciation on the formal protection that it had given to the recently founded Catalan Republic.

The reverse of the banknote is entirely occupied by a wide view of the snow-covered Canigó mountain, taken from the village of Vernet-les-Bains. The Canigó appears on the banknote because this peak of the Pyrenees is the protagonist of one of the epic poems written by Verdaguer, which bears his name, Canigó (1886).
