| Reverse description | The crowned quartered arms of Castile and León occupy the central field, displaying alternating castles and lions in the four quarters with a central escutcheon bearing the arms of the Bourbon dynasty. A large ornate crown surmounts the shield, its detailed fleurons rendered in high relief. The mint mark NR (Nuevo Reino) and the assayer's initials JV appear in the lower field flanking a small rosette. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads IN UTROQ FELIX AUSPICE DEO, disposed around the outer periphery within the milled border. |
