| Reverse description | Frontal bust of King Ferdinand II wearing an elaborate beaded crown, depicted with shoulder-length hair and a short beard in the Romanesque portrait tradition. The king holds a patriarchal cross-sceptre in his right hand and what appears to be a globus cruciger or sword in his left, conveying both spiritual and temporal authority. The bust is contained within a beaded inner circle, with the royal legend +FERNANDVS⁝DEI⁝GRACIA REX running clockwise in the outer field, identifying the issuer as Ferdinand, king by the grace of God. The portrait is rendered with fine relief detail for a hammered coin of this period, reflecting the high artistic standard of the Leonese royal mint. |
