| Reverse description | A plain cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quarters, each canton adorned with a grouping of pellets or annulets arranged in a decorative pattern characteristic of the Barcelona mint coinage of this period. A beaded inner circle frames the central cross design, while the circumferential Latin legend CIUITAS BARCKNONA runs around the outer field in Gothic lettering, identifying the City of Barcelona as the issuing authority. The overall composition follows the established medieval Catalan monetary tradition for the Barcelona groat series. |
