| Beschrijving keerzijde | Crowned heraldic shield of Aragon bearing four vertical pales (the four bars of Aragon), surmounted by an ornate royal crown rendered in the Gothic tradition. The shield occupies the central field and is enclosed within an inner beaded circle, with the Latin royal titulature legend surrounding it between two beaded circles. The overall design reflects the standard heraldic type adopted for Aragonese gold coinage of the period, struck on an irregular hammered flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ferdinand II ruled Catalonia as count, not king — a constitutional distinction the Catalans enforced jealously, and one that shaped how his coinage was authorized and struck at Barcelona. The half ducat denomination was adopted in direct response to Venetian commercial dominance of Mediterranean gold coinage; Aragonese merchants needed a locally issued fractional gold piece that could compete on weight and fineness in Levantine trade markets.
Cru. 1132 is among the scarcer fractional gold issues of the Crown of Aragon, surviving in small numbers relative to the full ducat.
