| Reverse description | Central crowned coat of arms of Philip II, devoid of the jewel ornament, superimposed upon crossed fire steels (the emblem of the Order of the Golden Fleece). The shield displays the complex quartered arms of the Spanish Habsburg dominions. The surrounding circular Latin legend DOMINVS · MIHI · ADIVTOR — meaning 'The Lord is my Helper' — is drawn from Psalm 118 and was a personal motto of the House of Habsburg. The overall composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, consistent with contemporary Spanish Netherlands hammered coinage. |
