| Reverse description | The quartered Royal Arms of Spain, comprising castles and lions with the Granada pomegranate in base, surmounted by an ornate royal crown, occupies the central field. The shield is encircled by the collar and pendant of the Order of the Golden Fleece, depicted here inverted — the distinguishing variety feature of this issue. The mint mark So (Santiago) appears at lower left and the assayer initial J at lower right, separated by small rosette stops. The circular Latin legend NOMINA MAGNA SEQUOR runs around the upper periphery, referencing Virgil's Aeneid. |
