| Obverse description | The quartered royal coat of arms of Spain occupies the central field, featuring the castles of Castile, lions of León, chains of Navarre, and the fleur-de-lis of the Bourbon dynasty, with the pomegranate of Granada at the base and an escutcheon at the center. The shield is surmounted by the royal crown and flanked by the Pillars of Hercules, each bearing scrolling banners inscribed PLVS and VLTRA respectively. The Madrid mint mark appears to the right of the shield. The legend ESPAÑA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 40000 PTAS is inscribed along the lower periphery, both separated from the border by a continuous beaded inner circle. |
