| Reverse description | A frontal bust of Saint James (Santiago) fills the central field, depicted full-face with long flowing hair and a beard, rendered in a hieratic Romanesque manner. The saint holds a staff or pilgrim's crook in his right hand, with further attributes flanking the bust on either side. The surrounding legend reads IACOBI, invoking the saint's name, enclosed within a beaded border. The portraiture is archaic and stylized, consistent with the devotional coinage issued in honor of the shrine of Santiago de Compostela. |
