| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold cross pattée dividing the field into four quarters, each containing pellets or roundels arranged in varying groupings — a design derived from the traditional Catalan cross coinage. A beaded border frames the quadrants. The legend +ARGENTONA 1642 is distributed around the periphery, identifying the mint of Argentona and the year of issue. The strike is characteristic of hammered provincial coinage, with an irregular planchet and slightly uneven distribution of the design elements. |
