The text that appears in the upper right part of the reverse of the banknote is the cover of the book “Historia de los Árboles de Quina” (History of the Quina Trees), by José Celestino Mutis:

José Celestino Bruno Mutis y Bosio (6 April 1732 – 11 September 1808) was a Spanish priest, botanist and mathematician. He was a significant figure in the Spanish American Enlightenment, whom Alexander von Humboldt met with on his expedition to Spanish America. He is one of the most important authors of the Spanish Universalist School of the 18th century, together with Juan Andrés or Antonio Eximeno.

The Royal Gate, also called Carlos III Gate, is a monumental complex from the last third of the 18th century, located on Paseo del Prado, in the Spanish city of Madrid. It is part of the enclosure of the Royal Botanical Garden.
