| Reverse description | Central field displays the elaborate quartered royal arms of Philip II of Spain within a shield surmounted by an imperial crown, flanked on either side by crowned lion supporters. The quarters bear the castles of Castile, the lions of León, the chains of Navarre, and the diagonal bars of Aragon, with the Granada pomegranate at the base, all rendered in high relief typical of Netherlandish hammered silver coinage. The surrounding Latin legend DOMINVS MIHI ADIVTOR (The Lord is my Helper) encircles the shield, interrupted by decorative stops. The flan edges are irregular and slightly ragged, consistent with the hand-hammered production technique of the mid-sixteenth century. |
