Reverse description Quartered coat of arms of the Spanish Crown divided by a bold cross of Jerusalem, with the quarters displaying the castles of Castile and the lions of León in alternating arrangement. A partial circular legend surrounds the shield along the rim, though much of it is lost to the irregular flan edges characteristic of macuquina cob coinage. The cross extends to the coin's edge, creating four clearly defined quadrants.
