| Reverse description | Crowned quartered royal arms of Spain displayed at center, featuring the quarterly arms of Castile, León, Aragon, and Granada, with an escutcheon of Portugal, all within the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The shield is surmounted by a royal crown and flanked by floral ornaments in the field. The surrounding legend in Latin proclaims Philip IV's titles as Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, and Count of Artois. The overall composition is characteristic of the elaborate heraldic style employed on Spanish Netherlands gold coinage of the period. |
