Hi Miguel, It's the projection's EPSG number, which is also used in GeoTIFF. It's an adopted standard numbering schema for map projections. I.e., "....\p26720" means the projection has EPSG number = 26720
Btw., EPSG stands for European Petroleum Survey Group (http://www.epsg.org/) Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Lars V.
