Beschrijving keerzijde A long plain cross divides the reverse into four quadrants, with an annulet occupying the first and fourth angles and three bezants (pellets) arranged in the second and third angles. The circular legend VILLE TARREGE 1641 runs along the periphery, interrupted by the cross terminals. The design is boldly simple, consistent with municipal emergency issues struck during the Reapers' War (Guerra dels Segadors), and shows the characteristic irregularity of a hastily produced hammered flan.

Aanvullende informatie

Tàrrega struck this piece during the Corpus de Sang uprising — the 1640 revolt in which Catalonia broke from Castile and placed itself under French protection. Municipal coinage was an emergency measure; the disruption to normal Castilian supply lines left towns across the region without adequate circulating silver. Tàrrega was one of very few municipalities granted — or simply bold enough to exercise — the authority to strike at this level of fineness during the conflict.

The Catalan revolt lasted until 1659, when the Treaty of the Pyrenees returned the principality to Spain, but most municipal emergency issues ceased well before that date as French-backed supply stabilized.
