Reverse description A stylized three-towered castle, the heraldic symbol of Castile, depicted in high relief at the center of the coin and set within an octolobed inner frame. The castle features a central keep flanked by two towers, with detailed crenellations and archways rendered in the bold, schematic style of late medieval Castilian die-engraving. A crescent mintmark is visible to the right of the castle, identifying the Avila mint. The surrounding field bears a circular Latin legend running between the inner octolobed border and the outer rim of the irregular flan.
