| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displaying the coat of arms of Barcelona, featuring a cross quartered with alternating castles and vertical pales, set within a lozenge or diamond-shaped escutcheon, as characteristic of Barcelona municipal heraldry. The design is executed in a rough hammered technique consistent with wartime emergency production. The arms are enclosed within an inner beaded circle, with a partial Latin legend distributed around the periphery between the beaded border and the irregular flan edge. |

Terrassa's copper seiseno dates to the Corpus de Sang — the June 1640 uprising in which Catalan harvesters murdered the Viceroy of Catalonia, triggering a war that would see the Principality formally place itself under French protection by January 1641. Municipal copper coinage flooded out of Catalan towns during these years partly because the break with Castile severed normal monetary supply chains, and partly because the cost of fielding troops demanded small-denomination liquidity fast. Terrassa was one of dozens of municipalities authorized to strike under the emergency monetary regime of the Generalitat.
