Obverse lettering ENRICVS DEI GRACIA
(Translation: Henry III by the grace of God)
Reverse description A passant lion rampant, representing the Kingdom of León, is depicted within a raised quinquefoil (five-lobe) inner border at the center of the reverse field. The lion is shown in profile with detailed mane rendered in the crude but expressive style typical of late 14th- to early 15th-century Castilian billon coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device between the inner quinquefoil and outer beaded border, repeating the obverse inscription ENRICVS DEI GRACIA. The strike is irregular, consistent with hammered manufacture at the Seville mint.
