In 1949, holed cupro-nickel 50&nbsp;cts were introduced, followed by aluminium-bronze Pts&nbsp;{{frac|2|1|2}} in 1954, cupro-nickel Pts&nbsp;25 and Pts&nbsp;50 in 1958 and smaller aluminium 10 and 25 céntimos in 1959. Silver Pts&nbsp;100 were issued between 1966 and 1969, with aluminium 50 céntimos introduced in 1967. In 1966 Franco's profile was redesigned to depict a more recent representation of the dictator.
