| Reverse description | Central field displays a passant lion set within a lozenge (diamond-shaped) frame, mirroring the geometric composition of the obverse. The lion, representing the Kingdom of León, is rendered in a stylized Gothic manner consistent with late 15th-century Castilian billon coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the lozenge, reading XPS VINCIT XPS REGNAT, invoking the Laudes Regiae acclamation. The overall strike is characteristic of hammered production at the Toledo mint during the reign of Enrique IV. The flan edges are irregular, typical of this denomination and period. |
