| Reverse description | A lozenge-shaped heraldic shield occupies the central field, bearing the arms associated with the Principality of Catalonia. The date 1642 appears within or adjacent to the legend, which encircles the shield between two beaded borders. The hammered strike produces an irregular flan typical of emergency or provincial coinage of this period, with the design elements rendered in a bold but somewhat rough style. |
