| Reverse description | Central device consisting of the quartered arms of Barcelona — a cross pattée dividing the field into four quarters — set within a lozenge or diamond-shaped shield. The heraldic shield is positioned in the center of the coin and surrounded by a circular Latin legend. A beaded border frames the design along the coin's periphery. The legend reads 'BARCINO CIVI' with the date of issue, referencing the city of Barcelona as the issuing authority. The strike is characteristic of hammered municipal coinage, showing some weakness and irregular flan edges. |
