| Obverse lettering | REX : ET : REGINA : CAST : LEGIO G II (Translation: King and Queen of Castilla and Leon, Aragon, Sicilia and Granada) |
| Reverse description | The reverse of the host coin presents the crowned monogram of the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, depicted as intertwined Gothic letters 'F' and 'Y' (Fernandus and Ysabella), set within a radiating or floriated design typical of late 15th-century Castilian hammered coinage. A partial circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, partially visible due to the irregular flan. A second countermark punch — a circular 'Bamba' stamp — is applied to the right field, its rounded outline and interior device confirming the 1734 Canary Islands revalidation alongside the obverse countermark. |
