| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the crowned rampant lion of León passant within a beaded inner circle, representing the second principal quartering of the royal arms of Castile and León. The lion is shown in profile facing left in typical early seventeenth-century Spanish heraldic style. A partial circular Latin legend, largely obscured by wear and the irregular planchet, surrounds the inner circle along the outer border of the coin. |

Felipe III's 1603 coinage reform was driven by a chronic copper shortage exacerbated by the costs of maintaining Spain's sprawling imperial commitments. Rather than remint existing stock, the Crown authorized countermarking older maravedí pieces to revalue them — a cheaper fix that satisfied immediate fiscal needs without the expense of full recoinage. The result was a circulating mass of host coins of wildly varying age and condition, each stamped with the new crowned castle mark.
KM#19.1 distinguishes the Castilian issues from regionally countermarked variants. Host coin identity is often impossible to determine with certainty.
