| Reverse description | A floriated cross pattée divides the field into four quarters, each containing a passant lion, representing the arms of Aragon and the Kingdom of Majorca in the Gothic heraldic tradition. The four lobed compartments formed by the cross arms each display a clearly struck lion in relief. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, while the circumferential Latin legend in Gothic script runs around the outer border of the coin. |

| Additional information |
Fernando I of Aragon — Fernando II of Majorca — ruled the island kingdom for just four years following his election by the Compromise of Caspe in 1412, which resolved the Aragonese interregnum after the extinction of the direct Barcelona line. Majorca by this point had been reintegrated into the Crown of Aragon for over six decades, its autonomous coinage surviving largely as administrative tradition rather than monetary independence.
The brevity of Fernando's reign kept mintage volumes low.
