Reverse description A bold floriated cross with trefoil terminals divides the field into four quadrants, each containing alternating castles and lions — the arms of Castile and León — set within elaborate baroque scroll-work. The circular Latin legend, proclaiming the king's dominion over the Spains and the Indies, runs along the periphery between a beaded inner border and a milled outer rim, with small stops separating the legend elements.
