| Reverse description | A plain cross divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a ring or annulet, forming the characteristic cross-and-four-rings device associated with Sardinian coinage of the Spanish Habsburg period. The design is boldly struck in the center, with the cross arms extending nearly to the coin's edge. A partial retrograde or abbreviated Latin legend surrounds the device, though the irregular flan causes portions of the inscription to fall off the coin's edge. The execution is typical of hammered billon minor coinage produced at Cagliari under Philip II. |
