Obverse description A bold cross pattée with flared terminals occupies the central field, dividing the coin into four quadrants. The upper-left and lower-right quadrants display a castle (emblem of Castile), while the upper-right and lower-left quadrants bear a passant lion rampant (emblem of León). The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a partial outer legend running along the coin's irregular, cob-style periphery.
