| Reverse description | Central device depicts an elephant walking right, carrying a crenellated tower on its back and bearing a cross-pattern caparison adorned with five square gems; a Moorish mahout seated atop holds a rod. A flowing ribbon inscribed with the motto MAGNANIMI PRETIUM arches above the elephant. Small animals and vegetation appear in the foreground. The circumferential Latin legend records the investiture, with the motto SENZILLO Y LEALL and the engraver's mark EF in the exergue. |
