Reverse description Central field depicts a crowned equestrian figure of King Sancho II, shown in right profile seated upon a horse and brandishing a sword aloft in his right hand, rendered in the flat, stylized manner of medieval Portuguese coinage. The figure wears a crown and period armor, closely reproducing the iconography of the original 13th-century Morabitino gold coin. A circular Gothic-style legend surrounds the equestrian device, enclosed within a beaded border. The engraver's signature R. VASQUEZ - INCM appears in small lettering at the base of the central design.
