| Reverse description | The quartered royal arms of Philip II, comprising the heraldic devices of Castile, León, Aragon, Portugal, and Granada, surmounted by a royal crown and enclosed within a shield of elaborate form. The shield is encircled by the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, with the pendant fleece visible at the base, rendered in fine detail characteristic of hammered gold coinage. The entire composition is surrounded by a circular Latin legend reading DOMINVS · MIHI · ADIVTOR, a devotional motto affirming the Lord as the sovereign's helper. The overall design is bold and heraldically precise, filling the flan to the edges. |
