| Reverse description | The denomination and date are arranged in three horizontal lines across the center of the plain field: the numeral I at top flanked by small rosette ornaments, SOLS in the middle register, and the date 1689 below, with a small rosette ornament beneath. The legends are rendered in bold, simple capital letters with no surrounding border legend, characteristic of hastily produced siege coinage. The flan is irregular and somewhat roughly finished, reflecting emergency mint conditions. |
