| Reverse description | The reverse displays two concentric circles enclosing a central motif, with two small stars or mullets placed symmetrically in the field between the circles, a decorative arrangement typical of Toledan issues of Alfonso VI. The legend TOLETVM is distributed around the outer border in Latin characters, identifying the Toledo mint. The beaded border and overall layout reflect Mozarabic artistic influences prevalent in post-Reconquista Toledo. The flan exhibits the characteristic irregular outline and surface texture of hammered medieval billon coinage. |
