The muscular horse, flowing mane and tail, armor details, weapons, circular borders, inscriptions, and the date 1900 all contribute to a dramatic and symbolic appearance. The reverse displays a central striped shield associated with Catalan heraldry surrounded by mountainous landscapes, rocky formations, natural textures, decorative elements, and circular inscriptions that emphasize regional identity and heritage.
