| Reverse description | The reverse displays the Arms of Barcelona — the quartered cross of Saint George (the Creu de Sant Jordi) — rendered as a bold cross dividing the field into four quarters, with the characteristic Catalan heraldic patterning. The shield is framed within a wreath of laurel or olive branches that encircle the central device, tied at the base with a ribbon. The Roman numeral 'II' appears in the upper field above the shield, reiterating the denomination. Small floral or rosette ornaments punctuate the wreath at intervals. The design reflects the civic pride of Barcelona and its medieval heraldic tradition. |
