| Reverse description | The crowned Spanish royal coat of arms occupies the central field, quartered with the castles of Castile and lions of León, surmounted by a royal crown. Flanking the shield are the two Pillars of Hercules, each wound with a ribbon bearing the motto PLUS ULTRA, symbolising Spain's dominion beyond the known world. The circular legend HISPAN·ET IND·REX surrounds the design, with the mint mark, assayer initials, and denomination designation 8R completing the legend. |
