Reverse description Central field bears a crowned royal bust facing right in profile, depicted in the Romanesque manner with schematic facial features, wearing a crown with fleurons and a draped mantle. The bust is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding field carries a Latin legend between the inner beaded ring and the outer beaded border, proclaiming the king's name and divine right to rule. The overall style is consistent with Iberian hammered gold coinage of the late twelfth century.
