The signature of Mariano Navarro Rubio is historically notable here: he served as Finance Minister under Franco from 1957 and was one of the architects of the 1959 Stabilization Plan, which dismantled the autarkic economic model Spain had maintained since the Civil War. His name on this note places it squarely within the technocratic Opus Dei period that pulled Spain into the orbit of Western European economic institutions.
Lavrillier's involvement on the reverse engraving is a borrowing from an earlier design generation — the French engraver died in 1958, so his credit reflects plate work carried forward rather than any new commission for this issue.
