| Reverse description | Large quartered royal coat of arms of Philip II, surmounted by an elaborate crown, displaying the heraldic emblems of Castile, León, Aragon, Sicily, and other Habsburg territories, with an escutcheon at center. The shield is set within the field without an inner circle, and the circumscribing legend identifies the ruler's titles. The engraving exhibits the dense, intricate heraldic detail typical of hammered gold coinage of the Spanish Netherlands during the reign of Philip II. |
