| Obverse description | Armored equestrian figure of the pretender Alfonso de Avila facing right, depicted in full gallop on a prancing horse, brandishing a sword aloft in the right hand and holding a shield on the left arm. The rider wears a crown and full plate armor rendered in the bold, somewhat schematic style typical of late medieval Castilian hammered gold coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with the Latin legend disposed around the periphery within a plain outer border, reading DOMINVS MICHI ADIVTOR ED EGO, a paraphrase of Psalm 118:7. |
