| Reverse description | The reverse displays a prominent oval countermark applied during the reign of Philip III or Philip IV, depicting a stylized palm leaf or frond with clearly defined lateral leaflets, punched into the central field as an official revalidation mark. The host coin's original reverse type, a crowned heraldic lion within a beaded circle, remains partially visible beneath and around the countermark. Remnants of the peripheral legend + HISPANIARVM * ET * IND are discernible around the border. The surface shows characteristic dark patination and wear consistent with the coin's extended use as an emergency currency issue. |
