| Reverse description | A plain Greek cross with equal arms is prominently displayed at the center of the coin within a beaded inner circle, dividing the field into four quadrants. The surrounding legend FERNANDVS REX, reading 'Ferdinand King', is arranged in Latin characters around the periphery in a circular inscription. The lettering is boldly struck in the Romanesque epigraphic style typical of 12th-century Leonese issues, though portions of the legend may be partially off-flan due to the irregular hammered flan. The overall design reflects the simple yet authoritative iconography of Iberian medieval royal coinage. |
