| Reverse description | Central quartered royal shield of the Catholic Monarchs, displaying the arms of Castile, León, Aragon, and Granada, surmounted by an imperial eagle displayed and flanked by two laurel branches tied at the base, all within a beaded inner circle. The shield is rendered in fine hammered relief characteristic of Catalan gold coinage of the period. The Latin legend SVB·VMBRA·ALARVM·TVA encircles the design in the outer field, invoking divine protection. The composition is bold and heraldically precise, consistent with the Barcelona mint's production under the Catholic Monarchs type continued into the reign of Philip III. |
