| Reverse description | Type VI counterstamp struck on the reverse of the host coin, presenting the same design as applied to the obverse: a lion passant within a circular border of approximately 5 mm diameter, encircled by the legend HABILITADA POR EL GOBIERNO. The counterstamp affirms governmental ratification of the underlying host coin as legal tender. The reverse field of the original host coin remains partially visible around the punch, consistent with the double-counterstamp application practice documented for this issue. |
