| Beschrijving keerzijde | A plain cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing a combination of annulets and pellets as decorative or differentiating elements. This cross design is a hallmark of medieval Catalan billon coinage and serves both an aesthetic and symbolic function. The surrounding Latin legend reads BAQINONA, a contracted form of Barchinonae, identifying the Barcelona mint. The flan edges are characteristically ragged and uneven, consistent with hammered production. The overall style is consistent with the workshop output of the Barcelona mint during the reign of Peter IV. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Peter IV of Aragon — "the Ceremonious" — ruled for over half a century and fought continuously to consolidate Crown of Aragon territories, including the brutal suppression of the Aragonese and Valencian Union revolts in the 1340s. Barcelona's mint operated under his direct authority, producing petty billon coinage that functioned as the working currency of Catalan markets and harbor transactions throughout his reign.
The fifty-year span of issue makes die attribution difficult. Cru#419 encompasses considerable variation in silver fineness and flan preparation across decades of production.
