Reverse description A bold floriated cross pattée divides the field into four quadrants, each containing the traditional arms of Barcelona: alternating roundels and orbs arranged in a pattern emblematic of the city's heraldic identity. The date appears in the upper-left quadrant, with the abbreviated city legend distributed around the coin within a beaded border. The design follows the established medieval Catalan groat tradition, struck on an irregular flan with characteristic hammer-die unevenness.
