Reverse description
At center a crowned castle flanked by an M to each side. On the exterior circle a legend toppled by a cross. Lettering on this coin is divided in half and should be read from the Obverse to the Reverse to complete the Spanish Imperial motto of `CAROLVS ET IOHANA REGES HISPANIARVM ET INDIARVM`; which in most coins is placed completely on one side of the coin by abbreviating most words
