The central design is a Jerusalem cross — sometimes called a potent cross — with arms terminating in flared T-shaped ends. That is the standard reverse used on Spanish colonial reales under the Habsburg kings, from Philip II through Charles II, continuing into the early Bourbon issues under Philip V. The dark, almost black surface with heavy pitting is the signature patina of a sea-salvaged coin.
