| Reverse description | Central quartered shield displaying the combined arms of Ferdinand and Isabella: castles of Castile and lions of León alternating in the first and fourth quarters, with the pales of Aragon in the second and third quarters, the whole surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle and flanked by the mint mark letters. The reverse legend in Gothic uncial script, separated by pellet stops, runs around the full circumference of the coin referencing Aragon and Castile with the Zaragoza mint indicator. |

| Additional information |
This issue belongs to the coinage reform undertaken by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1497 under the Pragmática de Medina del Campo, though pieces like this one predate that ordinance and reflect the transitional monetary arrangements of the early joint reign. The two crowns — Castile and Aragon — maintained separate coinage systems well into the 1490s, and Aragonese reales circulated alongside Castilian issues without a unified standard forcing equivalence.
Cal#416 places this among the earlier Aragonese emissions struck before the reform rationalized fineness across the peninsula.
