| Reverse description | A turreted castle with three towers occupies the central field, rendered in the simplified gothic style characteristic of Castilian billon coinage of the early fifteenth century. The central tower rises above two flanking towers, all set upon a base or battlement. Rampant lions appear to either side of the castle in the field. The royal legend encircles the design within a beaded border, identifying the monarch as king of Castile. |
