| Reverse description | Central crowned shield of the Spanish royal arms, quartered with the castles of Castile and the lions of León, enclosed within a decorative inner border. The field surrounding the central device bears the mintmark 'So' for Santiago and the assayer initial 'J', identifying the responsible mint official. The peripheral Latin legend NOMINA MAGNA SEQUOR encircles the design, a motto meaning 'I follow great names,' referencing the dynastic continuity of the Bourbon monarchy. The overall composition is characteristic of the escudo series struck at Santiago during the transitional period between Fernando VI and Carlos III portraiture. |
