| Reverse description | Central crowned quartered shield of the Spanish Habsburg arms, displaying the castles of Castile, lions of León, chains of Navarre, and the eagle of Sicily among other quarters, flanked on either side by a smaller oval shield bearing the rampant lion of Luxembourg. The composition is arranged symmetrically with the crowned main escutcheon dominating the field. The surrounding Latin legend reads DOMINVS MICHI ADIVTOR (The Lord is my helper), a devotional motto characteristic of Philip II's Luxembourg coinage. |
