| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large, bold fleur-de-lis occupies the central field, rendered in the stylized Gothic manner with pronounced lateral petals and a tall central stem, closely modeled on the Florentine florin prototype. The design fills the flan almost entirely, with the lily's foliate scrollwork extending nearly to the border. A circular Latin legend surrounds the device, recording the title of King Martin of Aragon. The hammered strike results in an irregular flan edge typical of medieval Aragonese gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Martin I inherited the Crown of Aragon in 1396 following the extinction of the direct Aragonese male line, and his reign saw Catalonia's gold florin production continue under Barcelona's mint with characteristic consistency. The Aragonese florin itself traced back to a deliberate 1346 imitation of the Florentine florin — fineness intentionally set slightly below the Florentine standard to protect local commerce while maintaining international credibility.
Martin died in 1410 without a legitimate heir, triggering the Compromise of Caspe and ending the House of Barcelona entirely. Coins struck in his final years effectively closed a dynastic chapter that had run unbroken since the ninth century.
