| Reverse description | The crowned Royal Arms of Spain occupy the central field, displaying the quartered shield with the castles of Castile and the lions of León, with a central escutcheon bearing the fleur-de-lis of the Bourbon dynasty. The shield is flanked by the Pillars of Hercules, each wound with a scroll inscribed PLUS and VLTRA respectively, symbolising Spain's dominion beyond the known world. The circular legend ·HISPAN·ET IND·REX· reads around the upper periphery, while the mint mark M, assayer initials FM, and denomination 2R appear to the left of the shield. The entire design is enclosed within a milled border consistent with the bust-type milled coinage standard. |
