One gap. The number under "TELEFONICO" indicates the year and month of coinage, with the first two digits giving the year, and the second two digits giving the month. The token shown above, "7502" was minted in the 2nd month of 1975.
The symbol above "GETTONE" is a mintmark, consisting of 2-3 letters in a recessed shape. Four mintmarks were used, and some dates are known with multiple mintmarks, as well as many dates lacking a mintmark.
NOTE: mintmark IPM looks like "UDM":
