| Reverse description | Quartered royal arms of Castile and Leon displayed within a plain linear inner circle, with the quarters alternating between the castle of Castile and the rampant lion of Leon, reflecting the dynastic union of the two kingdoms. The quadrant arrangement is separated by a bold cross whose limbs extend to the inner border. Small heraldic details, including battlements on the castle and the passant lion, are rendered in the bold relief characteristic of hammered gold coinage of the period. A surrounding circular Latin legend reads ENRICVS CARTVS DEI GRACI, invoking the king's title by the grace of God, with star and mullet stops dividing the words. |
