Description:
The Spanish monarchy represented as a woman on a throne whose hand rests on a portrait of a Bourbon Spanish Austrian prince who wears the order of the golden fleece. The steps to her throne read Strength, Constancy, and Religion. Beneath her throne are chained Moorish soldiers. At her feet are weapons which include the Arab crescent. A classical figure wearing a laurel wreath kneels on a hemisphere showing South America with Lima marked on the west coast. Three angels are seated holding symbols of truth and with appropriate latin mottoes above their heads. Symbolic elements include mirror, a lit candle, open book, chains with hearts, crown, scepter, castles and lions (symbols of Castile and Leon or the Spanish crown).
