| Reverse description | Two crowned Pillars of Hercules, representing the limits of the known world, flank a central banner bearing the inscription PLVS (here rendered as PIVS on this specimen), a reference to the motto PLVS VLTRA (Further Beyond). The pillars are each surmounted by a royal crown and encircled by dotted or plain rings depending on the variety. The surrounding legend HISPANIARVM ET INDIARVM, Of the Spains and the Indies, runs within a beaded border along the periphery of the irregular flan. |
