| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large, boldly struck fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, rendered in the Gothic Florentine style adapted from the original Florentine florin, with three prominent petals rising from a tied base and flanked by small pellets and a star. The surrounding circular Latin legend ARAGO REX IO — identifying John I as King of Aragon — runs around the periphery on the irregular hammered flan, with a small cross or stop separating the legend elements. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Juan I of Aragon inherited the Crown of Aragon in 1387 and continued the Valencian florin tradition established under his predecessors, closely modeling the coin on the Florentine florin that had dominated Mediterranean trade since the 13th century. Valencia's commercial weight in the western Mediterranean made a locally struck gold florin a practical necessity rather than a prestige gesture — Valencian merchants needed specie that would pass without discount in Italian and North African markets.
Juan's reign was marked by chronic fiscal pressure, partly driven by his extravagant court and costly patronage of the arts. Cru. 471 sits within a series where die workmanship varies noticeably across the period.
