| Reverse description | The reverse displays the quartered royal arms of Philip II of Spain, surmounted by an elaborate crown and incorporating the heraldic quarters of Castile, León, Aragon, and Burgundy-Netherlands among others, rendered in the bold relief typical of hammered gold coinage of the period. The shield is set within the field without an inner circle, with the Latin legend disposed around the periphery between the beaded border. The die work reflects the Spanish Netherlands engraving tradition of the mid-16th century, with strong angular lines defining the heraldic charges. The legend attributes the royal and ducal titles of Philip II. |
