| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold plain cross divides the field into four quarters, each enclosed within a curved, lobed (octolobate) inner border forming a quatrefoil frame. The upper-left and lower-right quarters bear the castle of Castile, while the upper-right and lower-left quarters bear the rampant lion of León. The date 1684 appears at the top of the field, flanking the upper portion of the cross within the lobed frame. The circular Latin legend + HISPANIARVM + REX + runs along the periphery, separated by star ornaments, all enclosed within a finely beaded outer border. |

Charles II's coinage of the 1680s reflects a monarchy in administrative disarray — the king was chronically incapacitated, regencies had fractured central authority, and the mint apparatus at Segovia operated with considerable autonomy. The "without Portugal arms" designation traces to the formal renunciation of the Portuguese succession claim following the 1668 Treaty of Lisbon, after which some Castilian issues dropped the Portuguese quartering from the royal arms entirely, though application across mints was inconsistent for years afterward.
Segovia's water-powered mill, the Real Ingenio, gave it a mechanical minting advantage over most Spanish facilities — pieces from this mint tend toward more uniform planchets than hand-struck contemporaries from other houses.
