| Reverse description | Central design features the crowned Royal Arms of Spain — a quartered shield displaying the castles of Castile and the lions of León in the first and fourth quarters, with the fleur-de-lis of the Bourbon dynasty in the central escutcheon. The shield is flanked on either side by the Pillars of Hercules, each surmounted by a crown and wreathed with a banner, symbolizing the straits of Gibraltar and Spanish dominion beyond. The circumferential legend HISPAN·ET IND·REX reads around the upper and lower periphery, with the mint mark LM, assayer initials, and denomination indicator 2R appearing in the field flanking the pillars. |
