Design of a reverse for a 1,000 pesetas banknote without date, on yellow cardboard and green ink. This sketch is constructed as a collage from a basic ink design to which printed guilloché borders and an empty circle have been added to demarcate the watermark window.
"Series: Cervantes" is mentioned, perhaps in reference to a sketch of 25 pesetas dated July 7, 1952 with which it shares the rectilinear style of the borders and placards with the name of the Bank of Spain. However, what is certain is that it is a design that, with minimal modifications (the micro-printed texts in the corners under the denominations were replaced by fruit ornaments), was used, as Don Ramón Cobo Huici indicates, on the reverse of the 1,000 pesetas banknote of 1951. This banknote began to be manufactured in 1953, which would allow the date of this project to be set at the end of the 1940s or perhaps in 1951 or 1952 as part of the development of the banknote dedicated to Sorolla, which makes it a very interesting example to complement this period.
