| Reverse description | Two crowned Pillars of Hercules, each surmounted by a royal crown, flanking the denomination numeral '4' at center top and the word 'PLVS' on a scroll or banner between the pillars, with the assayer's letter 'G' positioned below in the lower field. A beaded inner circle frames the design, and a partial circular Latin legend occupies the outer border. The composition references the motto 'PLVS VLTRA' associated with the Spanish Habsburg monarchy, symbolizing dominion beyond the known world. |
