| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features the personal device of Ferdinand and Isabella: the yoke (yugo) and bundle of arrows (flechas), emblems adopted respectively by Ferdinand and Isabella as personal badges, arranged prominently within a beaded inner circle. The intertwined Fs and Ys of the royal monogram are rendered in the Gothic style typical of late 15th- and early 16th-century Castilian coinage. The surrounding legend in Latin reads continuously around the coin, naming the monarchs' titles across Castile, León, Aragon, Sicily, and Granada. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
These pieces were struck during the reigns of both Charles I (Carlos I of Spain, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V) and his son Philip II, yet they bear the names of Ferdinand and Isabella — monarchs dead before many of these coins were minted. The anachronistic legends were a deliberate continuity device: the Catholic Monarchs had established the cob coinage standard by royal pragmatic in 1497, and their names carried an authority the mint was reluctant to retire.
Seville handled the bulk of incoming American silver during this period, making it the busiest mint in the Spanish world. The cob format meant dies were struck by hand onto irregular planchets, so no two pieces share an identical profile.
