| Reverse description | Central device features the large crowned Ave Maria monogram — an elaborate interlaced 'MA' cipher surmounted by a cross fleury — a design unique to the so-called 'Maria' coinage of Carlos II, struck as a devotional type. The denomination numeral '4' appears to the upper right of the monogram. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads VIRTVTE ET PROTECTIONE and includes the date 1700, distributed within a beaded inner border. The overall composition is bold and devotional in character, reflecting the Marian piety of the late Habsburg court. |
