| Reverse description | A large, boldly struck fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, its three lobes rendered with fine gothic detail and curling foliage characteristic of Aragonese florin coinage. A small shield or decorative device appears at the top of the design above the central petal. The surrounding peripheral legend in Latin Gothic lettering reads ARAGO REX AL, identifying the issuer as Alfonso V, King of Aragon, with abbreviated stops separating the legend elements. The overall style reflects the Florentine florin prototype as adapted by the Crown of Aragon mints. |
