Reverse description The reverse displays the original design of the host Spanish 2 Escudos cob coinage of Felipe IV, featuring the quartered royal arms of Castile and León within a shield, surrounded by a partial circular legend in Latin. The crenellated castles and rampant lions of the Castilian-Leonese arms are visible within the shield quarters, though the irregular flan and cob-style striking result in partially struck and off-center design elements typical of macuquina gold coinage. Remnants of the royal titulature legend are partially visible along the coin's periphery.
