| Reverse description | A cross fleury dominates the central field, its terminals elaborated with fleur-de-lis-style flourishes, and the four quarters between the arms are adorned with scallop or pellet ornaments. The legend ANFONS REX is distributed around the cross in the surrounding field, identifying the issuer as King Alfonso. The design is boldly struck in relief relative to the small flan size, though die alignment and centering vary due to the hand-hammered production method. The overall composition is characteristic of the Leonese royal monetary tradition of the early thirteenth century. |
