| Reverse description | A plain, bold cross pattée extending to the inner beaded circle, dividing the field into four equal quarters. The cross is rendered in the simple, robust style characteristic of medieval billon coinage of the Crown of Aragon region. The surrounding Latin legend IACOBUS DEI GRA encircles the design, identifying the issuer as James by the grace of God, with the legend separated by small decorative stops. |

| Additional information |
Jaime III inherited Majorca in 1324 as a minor under Aragonese guardianship, and his reign was spent in an increasingly precarious balancing act between the Crown of Aragon and France. The billon coinage issued in his name continued the monetary tradition his predecessors had established, but the political ground was shifting. Pedro IV of Aragon invaded Majorca in 1343, stripped Jaime of the kingdom, and had him attainted — effectively terminating both the reign and any further issues of this type mid-series.
