| Reverse description | Central field presents a crowned royal bust or device within a beaded inner circle, the precise details somewhat flat due to the soft billon strike and worn surfaces typical of circulated hammered deniers. A partial Latin legend is visible in the outer border, consistent with the titulature of John II as king. The die-work reflects the relatively crude but functional engraving style associated with Catalan provincial mints of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. |
