| Reverse description | A bold long cross divides the field into four quadrants and simultaneously bisects the surrounding legend. The first and fourth quadrants each contain an annulet, while the second and third quadrants each bear three bezants arranged in triangular formation. The entire design is framed between two beaded circles, with the date 1640 incorporated into the legend. The layout follows the standard Barcelona municipal coinage convention of the period. |
