| Reverse description | Facing or right-facing bust of King Pedro I, depicted schematically within a beaded inner circle, showing the ruler with stylized facial features and rudimentary crown or headdress as befitting a medieval hammered type. A circular Latin legend surrounds the beaded border, identifying the monarch. The execution is characteristic of the rough artisanal die-cutting of early 12th-century Aragonese mints. |

| Additional information |
Pedro I inherited Aragon and Pamplona in 1094 following his father Sancho Ramírez's death during the siege of Huesca — killed by an arrow, the siege itself continuing until Pedro finally took the city in 1096. That victory opened the Ebro valley and set the strategic conditions for his later capture of Barbastro. Coinage struck at Monzón during his reign reflects a frontier economy operating under constant military pressure, with billon alloy quality varying noticeably across the type as silver supplies fluctuated with campaign cycles.
