| Obverse description | The crowned Royal Arms of Spain occupy the central field, depicting the quartered shield with castles and lions, with a central escutcheon bearing the Bourbon dynastic device, flanked by the Pillars of Hercules with banners inscribed PLUS VLTRA. The royal crown surmounts the shield above. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the device, reading the king's full royal title, separated by ornate mullets. The entire composition is enclosed within a finely milled border of raised beads. |
