| Reverse description | A plain Greek cross with equal arms occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding annular legend, divided by the arms of the cross, reads FERNANDVS REX in Latin capital letters, identifying the issuer as King Ferdinand. The lettering is arranged around the circumference between the inner beaded circle and the outer border. The overall design is characteristic of Leonese royal coinage of the late twelfth century. |
