| Reverse description | A bold plain cross pattee divides the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing a varying arrangement of pellets and annulets representing the arms of Barcelona — a design emblematic of the city's heraldic tradition. The cross extends to a beaded inner circle, and a circular Latin legend reading CIVITAS BARCINONA runs along the outer border, also separated by a beaded ring. The overall style is characteristic of hammered medieval Catalan gros coinage. |
