| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
James II held Catalonia while simultaneously pressing his claim to Sicily and later acquiring the Kingdom of Arland — his reign was defined by near-constant negotiation with Rome and Aragon over which territories he could legitimately keep. The Barcelona groat emerged from this period as Catalonia's adaptation of the Venetian grosso model, which had been spreading through Mediterranean commercial networks since the late 13th century. Catalan merchants trading across the western Mediterranean required a heavy silver coin that counterparties would accept without dispute.
The Barcelona mint's output under James II served those trade routes directly — Barcelona to Sardinia, to Sicily, to North Africa.
